Hmm, that's a good point. If a font-family is made up of multiple fonts that
are not consistent in their use of integer values, then there is a problem.

However, this should only happen if you're building up an @font-face family
using unrelated font faces, and in that case you might be better off keeping
them as separate font families and using the standard fallback list
   font-family: MS Mincho, Bitstream Cyberbit;
rather than trying to combine unrelated fonts into a single named family.
