+<p>The Font Settings API allows you to manage Chrome's font settings.</p>
+
+<h2 id="manifest">Manifest</h2>
+<p>The Font Settings API is currently experimental, so you must declare the
+"experimental" permission to use it. For example:</p>
+<pre>{
+  "name": "My Font Settings Extension",
+  "description": "Customize your fonts",
+  "version": "0.2",
+  "permissions": ["experimental"]
+}</pre>
+
+<h2 id="scripts">Generic Font Families and Scripts</h2>
+<p>Chrome allows for some font settings to depend on certain generic font
+families and language scripts. For example, the font used for sans-serif
+Simplified Chinese may be different than the font used for serif Japanese.</p>
+
+<p>The generic font families supported by Chrome are based on
+<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/fonts.html#generic-font-families">CSS generic font families</a>
+and are listed in the API reference below. When a webpage specifies a generic
+font family, Chrome selects the font based on the corresponding setting. If no
+generic font family is specified, Chrome uses the setting for the "standard"
+generic font family.</p>
+
+<p>When a webpage specifies a language, Chrome selects the font based on the
+setting for the corresponding language script. If no language is specified,
+Chrome uses the setting for the default, or global, script.</p>
+
+<p>The supported language scripts are based on ISO 15924 script codes and listed
+in the API reference below. Technically, Chrome settings are not strictly
+per-script but also depend on language. For example, Chrome chooses the font for
+Hangul (ISO 15924 script code "Hang") when a webpage specifies Korean language,
+and uses this font not just for Hangul script but for everything the font
+covers, such as Hanja.</p>
+
+<p>Although ISO 15924 provides script codes like "Japn" for Japanese and "Kore"
+for Korean, these codes are newer than "Hrkt" and "Hang" which Chrome continues
+to use for compatibility purposes.</p>
+
+<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>
+<p>The following code gets the standard font for Arabic.</p>
+<pre>
+chrome.experimental.fontSettings.getFontName(
+  { genericFamily: 'standard', script: 'Arab' },
+  function(details) { console.log(details.fontName); }
+);
+</pre>
+
+<p>The next snippet sets the sans-serif font for Japanese.</p>
+<pre>
+chrome.experimental.fontSettings.setFontName(
+  { genericFamily: 'sansserif', script: 'Hrkt', fontName: 'IPAPGothic' }
+);
+</pre>
+
+<p>You can find a sample extension using the Font Settings API in the
+<a href="http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/fontSettings/">examples/api/fontSettings</a>
+directory. For other examples and for help in viewing the source code, see
