In regards to font preferences, will you consider including a
preference for choosing specific sans-serif and serif fonts in the
Midori browser? Currently users have these font-related options:

    Proportional Font Family
    Fixed-width Font Family

But I would like to be able to use specific fonts for both serif and
sans-serif fonts. I would love something like this:

    Serif Font Family
    Sans-Serif Font Family
    Fixed-width Font Family

and to the right of:

    Minimum Font Size

there is room for:

    Preferred proportional font:

with a combo box consisting of Serif and Sans-Serif.

These additions will not increase the size of the window with
preferences, although I do realize it will get a bit more crowded.

I know there are workarounds to that... Eg. I have this in my
~/.fonts.conf config file:

      <alias>
                <family>sans-serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Liberation Sans</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>

        <alias>
                <family>sans</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Liberation Sans</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>

But regular users shouldn't put up with that. What do you think?

Thanks for yet another release of this great little browser,
