## Title

    Reported mitigation: pin font families on a retained CDP session (source-backed, not verified by KFA)

## Body

    Source-backed, not verified by KFA. One commenter reported pinning only the fixed (monospace) family to Menlo via Page.setFontFamilies on a retained CDP session. They said later beyond-viewport captures stayed byte-identical, and that an override sent on a session later detached was lost at the next navigation (https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/42962#issuecomment-6088861148). Another commenter reported that resizing the viewport to the scroll height, taking a regular screenshot and restoring the viewport kept fonts unchanged in their Linux test. They warned this alters vh units and media queries and was not tested on such pages (https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/42962#issuecomment-6013695685). Neither is a maintainer-confirmed fix.
