There's two sides to this and I would appreciate some guidance and which
this bug report should focus on:

  (a) Installing Ubuntu proportional fonts (x7) and installing Ubuntu
Mono fixed width fonts (x4) independently.

  (b) Being able to select which is used by the operating system.

for (a), this is a matter of packaging.  They could be split out.  For
technical reasons it may be desirable to have one .deb package
installed, but not the other; such as for saving disk space.

for (b), the two can be set independently.  They are saved in the keys
'font-name' and 'monospace-font-name'.  But default these are:

  echo {,monospace-}font-name | xargs -n1 gsettings get 
org.gnome.desktop.interface 
  'Ubuntu 11'
  'Ubuntu Mono 13'

although the user is able to override the defaults for one without
affecting the other.
