Bug Description

The default upstream GNOME font is "Source Code Pro" these days.

Will consider switching to this once its packaged in Debian/Ubuntu.

== original report ==

in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/20_ubuntu-gnome-default-settings.gschema.override, we set monospace-font-name="Ubuntu Mono 13". Is there any reason not to use GNOME's default monospace font ("monospace 11" is I'm not mistaken) as we do for other font settings?

'monospace' is actually DejaVu Sans Mono. Why do you think it should be the default instead of Ubuntu Mono?

Well, we already use Cantarell (GNOME's default) instead of Ubuntu font for "normal' fonts, so it's only logical to use GNOME's default for monospace too instead of Ubuntu's default. I'm not sure which font is GNOME's default though, and I just assumed it was "monospace 11".

Would consider switching to this but it is not currently packaged in Debian/Ubuntu.
