No, it's not intentional - it really should be picking up the GNOME font settings - just not implemented yet. But yes, currently you'd need to change the fontconfig settings to see Droid in the shell. There's one other note about Droid vs. Deja Vu Sans - which is that the current GNOME Shell designs contain a lot of bold (including the top panel) and Deja Vu Sans has a very BOLD bold which doesn't look good when bolding more than a word or two. So if we stuck with Deja Vu Sans we'd have to trim down the use of bold in the shell. - Owen -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
