It will be impossible to match the browser fonts.  Not all browsers even use
the same default font, much less will you be able to guess what face the
user will change it to, or what size he has the text set for to ease his
poor eyes :p  (when I read Perseus I have to turn the fonts all the way up
so I can make out the accent marks..)
