default fonts

[Richard Li <richardl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This morning I decided to experiment with the fonts on my FC2 laptop. A 
few minutes later, Thunderbird, Firefox, and my desktop look immensely 
better by simply switching to Bitstream Vera. Now, I don't want to start 
a which-font-looks-better-war, but the default of the generic "Sans" and 
"Sans Serif" fonts are pretty terrible and I think that there is no 
question that the defaults could be changed to something better.

I had to change the default fonts in three places:

o Thunderbird
o Firefox
o Preferences/Fonts in GNOME

Is it possible to change the defaults for these apps?

I searched through the archives and there has been some discussion, 
although it seemed to center around which font looks best:

Honestly, I don't care, as long as it isn't Sans and Sans Serif ;-).

Thoughts?
