The default must change. But I don't really agree with liberation, I checked it the other day and I am not too impressed. Could simply use one of the free fonts that already come with ubuntu.

We should use Nimbus Serif as the default, it is compatible (I think) with Times.

I think, that Liberation Serif and Times have both the same width. Good idea.
