If you are saying the document should determine it's own font,
I violently disagree.  The document can specify bold or italic,
but I want to set the size myself, to suit my screen and eye
resolution.  I also want to be able to read in Helvetica, even
if the author thinks I should intall fairy pink flowing script
to properly experiance his work.  Making it part of the theme
is OK but should still be easy to change independently of other
things.  I don't want to use wide borders just to get a big
font.
