Usually, one of the squarish, blackish fonts with easily distinguishable i/l
shapes etc., in  (in fact, Chicago and Charcoal analogues -- think Grana
Padano, Virtue, MacType).

I work with OOO/LO texts and formulas a lot, and consider such setup easier on
eyes (I use the analogous setup in Firefox, BTW.) Text window is the focus of
attention, and UI doesn't get in the way but is readable.

This is about the opposite of what's expected of 'system' font, which is used
for menus, dialogs, etc., through which we convey our meaning to system. There
the 'system' font is the main medium, for all applications in system-wide
context, so there are different requirements to it.

But I already know I can. :) I chose the GTK system font like 15 years ago, and
tug the config along through my homedirs. Same with qtconfig. But in fact, I
regret there is no capability in system to change the applications' fonts
individually -- and I mean change easily, like it was done on OS/2 20+ years
ago.

Bug 87016 was somewhat dubiously formulated and got about zero discussion
before it was fast-tracked into the code. I didn't know about that urge to
remove the option, or I would chime in. Now it seems it's too late.
