Different look in linux due to recent font changes

General JUCE discussion
2

From what I can tell, on Ubuntu the default that JUCE previously used until very recently is “Liberation Sans”. The new default now seems to be an italic version of “DejaVu Sans”.

To get back to the old/normal font, call this in your application’s initialize() method:

Desktop::getInstance()
    .getDefaultLookAndFeel()
    .setDefaultSansSerifTypefaceName("Liberation Sans");

To provide another example value that you can use, try this to see the difference:

Desktop::getInstance()
    .getDefaultLookAndFeel()
    .setDefaultSansSerifTypefaceName("Ubuntu");

To the maintainers of JUCE: can we get back the old default? Or was this an intentional change, to use a heavy italic font as the new default font?
