Comment (by marco):

 The reason you can't change font for http://www.google.com/intl/ar/ is
 that google specifies sans-serif as family. Try to remove it and things
 will work.

 I *think* the reason is that sans-serif is mapped by font-config to one of
 the fonts installed on the system. I should check if that's actually the
 right behavior. Anyway one way or another I'm sure that we can change that
 association.

 So, what I need to be able to fix this is a list of fonts we need to use
 for Arabic content. One for serif, one for sans-serif and one for
 monospace.
