[Bug 81608] Please use DejaVu Sans Condensed as the default font

[Simon Law]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: human-gtk-theme

This is a wishlist bug that I discussed with Ken Wiimer.

We now ship DejaVu Sans in Feisty, which contains Condensed and
Condensed Bold flavours.  These are great screen fonts that are quite
legible and can be used for user-interface elements like window titles,
menus, and tooltips.  They're clean, since they are based on Bitstream
Vera Sans, but also thin so that more information fits in the available
space.

I recommend against using them as the document fonts, since their
hinting is not up to par with Bitstream Vera Sans, so they look a bit
blurry.  But for everything else, they're excellent.

In summary, please use DejaVu Sans Condensed as the default user-
interface font for Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
