<P>System fonts can only be accessed as a whole; that is, the

font-family, size, weight, style, etc. are all set at the same

time. The semantic meaning of each of the values follows - if any of

these semantics do not exist on a given platform, the UA should either
608+
intelligently substitute (e.g., a smaller version of the 'caption'
609+
font might be used for the 'smallcaption' font), or substitute its UA
610+
default font. As for regular fonts, if, for a system font, any of the
611+
individual properties are not part of the operating system's available
612+
user preferences, those properties should be set to their initial
613+
values.
