Comment:

 In [changeset:"45919" 45919]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="45919"
 Twenty Nineteen: Remove Baskerville Old Face from the font stack due to
 several shortcomings:

 * Being difficult to read due to its mix of thin and thick strokes.
 * Having poor language/extended character support.
 * Not having other weights/styles (bold, italic, etc) and relying on
 browser approximations of those variants.

 The next fonts down the stack (Garamond and Times) are more properly
 aligned to the appearance of the top-level serif font in the stack
 (Hoefler Text), and work better in its place.

 Props kjellr, Rarst, justintadlock.
 Fixes #45881.
