While you are at it, would you mind providing a patch to style.css?

style.css: Fix failure to start in GNOME Flashback

The order for 'font' properties matters
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/chap-css-properties.html

This patch fixes the failure to start, but Caribou was still unusuable so I filed bug 791096 for that.
