"Wait.. what? Why change from the system default on Linux? Just use the default sans-serif instead of the default serif.
The whole point of having default fonts is that, if I want to change the default mono font to something I like better (I use Monaco on and off), I don't have to muck about in a dozen applications that felt like hardcoding a font name."

Agreed. The default font on most Linux distros and desktops (I think) is Deja-Vu. Just use the default sans-serif font, and we'll be fine.

Note that Linuxers are particularly prone to customize their desktop.

I can't test this, but Bryan testing it should suffice since the change itself looks fine.
