 I've seen a few suggestions that, rather than forcing Arial upon Mac users
 or Helvetica upon Windows users, we should just specify "sans-serif" as
 the font family for the dashboard and use the browser default. Mac users
 would get Helvetica, Windows users get Arial. People who bother to set
 their browser default font get whatever they want. This seems fair and
 reasonable, and I like the added side effect of Mac users seeing
 Helvetica.

 Instead of Bitstream Vera Sans, Linux users would probably see Deja Vu as
 the browser default, which looks less like what Windows and Mac users will
 see. Not sure how they'd feel about that.

 At any rate, this patch is submitted for your consideration.
