My understanding is that we only use the Ubuntu font for the desktop.
It's set in this file:
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/10_ubuntu-settings.gschema.override
And that setting overrides fontconfig, so this new fontconfig preference
won't change the default font used for the desktop.
As far as I know the Ubuntu font has never been used (by default) for
web browsing. DejaVu has.
