Would be better to fit font and font-size to some standard. #203

This may be difficult to add custom fonts for each caption because the only fonts compatible with all versions of web browsers are the WebFonts which are not very different. Plus it would be better to fit some standard instead of making it custom.

Maybe have a setting somewhere that can auto format font and font-size depending on the publication standards in the field.

Arial is the safe one for using on figures. No journal is unhappy with it but a number only accept "san serif" fonts in figures and Arial is the most common of those. For the caption, they re-typeset anything the author does, so no worries. Times New Roman is the most standard that pretty much everyone uses
