[Bug 2034986] Re: some text became unreadable during a distribution upgrade

[Steve Langasek]

Gunnar, one concern raised is that 'Sans 11' may be a different font
size than is used for the current interface font, so setting this may
cause legibility problems for users who have intentionally configured
larger fonts.  Can you suggest a workaround that's font-size-neutral?

Bug description:
  I was upgrading from Lunar to Mantic the other day and left a couple
  of applications open during the upgrade process. During the upgrade
  the text in audacious became unreadable (I'll attach a screenshot) and
  I seem to recall the title bar of Firefox being unreadable but the
  contents of web pages still being readable.
