I now shipped FreeSans.ttf as the default font for the text action. If someone has a better proposal, please let me know. This was another "out of the box" usability problem. In case you want to explore the fonts on your system, fontmatrix (sudo apt-get install fontmatrix) is your friend. It lists all free fonts with their license. Check it out, it is a great program.
