17 Well, for me personaly a hardcoded "Monospace 10" fallback is
18 perfecly fine, because i have a proper fontconfig setup with an
19 acceptable aliases list and also proper DPI settings on all my
20 machines. This lets me use exactly the same font config (in
21 fact the same desktop setup) on all my machines, regardless
22 of the display/monitor size.

24 But no matter how wrong i think it is, i usualy respect the
25 upstreams wishes.
