There i have a Terminus font webkit-gtk gets horribly scaled instead of picking the glyph size a bit smaller or larger than requested: <https://dump.bitcheese.net/files/imiwoka/screenshot-webkit-gtk-bitmap-scaling.png>; while fontconfig correctly reports these fonts as non-scalable.
Tried webkit-gtk-2.12.5; now it became worse: the fontconfig font picking settings are ignored altogether: https://dump.bitcheese.net/files/jisasel/screenshot-webkit-gtk-fontconfig-ignored.png
Nowadays we reject all bitmap fonts, so I don't think this should be an issue anymore.

I don't think we ever want to display non-scalable fonts?

I don't think there are high contrast 1000ppi displays omnipresent nowadays and vector fonts quickly degrade into unreadable blurry mess on low sizes, heavily limiting the amount of text that can fit on a display w/o compromising readability. Is there a discussion re such a design choice?
