I hadnt included the Source Pro font family as one of the suggestions 
because we only bundle the sans version, but not the serif or monospace 
versions. According to tdf#79022, Source Serif was rejected because it 
doesnt have an italics variant.

The change would only affect newly created document, so there isnt any 
potential to cause problem for existing documents. This wouldnt have 
inconsistencies problems with competing products, just like changing to 
the Liberation font family didnt.
