I have been trying to follow this advice from a couple of weeks ago:

Perusing the CSS files in the content/ directory, I gather that
/Conkeror/conkeror/chrome/userChrome.css should contain something like
this:

??? {
  font-family: monospace;
}

but I did not see anything in the files that looked like a
specification for the minibuffer etc.  I tried ???=body, but that did
not work.

Thank you for your attention.
