 Replying to [comment:15 walbo]:
 > Looks like `-apple-system` as the first font in the stack when using the
 shorthand CSS property `font` causes problems in MSEdge/IE and the
 property doesn't get applied [https://cloudup.com/cXXnwUoHhbX].

 It is indeed a bug in Edge. From their PM:
 > We have a fix for this internally and it is currently going through code
 review. It should roll out with Edge 14 in a couple months. There should
 be a preview build available in the insider track in a couple of weeks,
 too.

 @walbo: Also, sorry about forgetting your props :( I will make a note to
 add you to the next commit here, and if I forget again, somebody can
 manually add you to the credits.
