I think it would be good to use system fonts for the user interface, but that needs to be implemented for all operating systems then. Once that works, maybe we should still keep the font for render compatibility of text objects, or for users that prefer the UI to be exactly the same on different operating systems. I don't know how important those things are and I guess we can have that discussion, but we need people to actually implement system font support for Linux/BSD, Windows, Mac, Android, ... before we can actually consider removing the fonts.
