While I myself would love having a different default font, we've talked to
the Engineering Steering Committee and, unfortunately, it's been decided
that we stay with Liberation fonts. These fonts have the same metrics as
Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier, which are basically on every operating
system (if not those fonts, then their counterparts). Using these fonts
guarantees that the documents keep the same layout on any platform.
