We currently have a font family set for the canvas and the composers. However, both fonts are proprietary: - Roboto -> Google - Arial -> Microsoft For users using an 'open' operating system without any of those proprietary fonts, the font family has 0 matches and defaults on a 'Times new Roman' like font which is quite ugly. This revision adds a fallback to 'Liberation Sans' which is the opensource equivalent to Arial [1].
