Bug Description

Font's set to Ubuntu Light.

All windows/apps follow this except for any of the system setting apps - which appear to be something else entirely.

Not sure if this is the right package to report this against.

Could you elaborate please? It looks like Ubuntu Light to me (except the header, forced to a serif font by the greybird theme).

This is what I'm talking about - if it's normal then I never noticed before. If it's normal, new and expected behaviour then I guess it's not a bug.

Not sure why fonts set don't work for 'everything' though.

AFAIK, it's "normal" with greybird (meaning: it's not a bug, but a decision from the theme creator). The version in oneiric didn't have that, I guess that's why you didn't notice it before.

OK thanks - guess it's not a bug then but opinion :)

For what it's worth I only noticed the change recently in 12.04 - probably after some greybird updates.

I reverted this change (Serif font in xfce header) due to popular request just now.
