Currently, ubuntu has a lot of issues with fonts. Both the regular font-family and the data-font-family end up evaluating to NimbusSans on my system (ubuntu's fallback font from helvetica) NimbusSans unfortunately is noticably too high, cause text in buttons, emoji on the left pane, and other vertical text alignment to be too high This diff explicitly says to use DejaVu and Liberation Sans which should have no effect on windows/mac systems, but should significantly improve appearance on ubuntu (and hopefully other linuxes) Both of these fonts are some of the more widely supported linux fonts, see: https://www.webfx.com/blog/web-design/a-web-designers-guide-to-linux-fonts/

Switched font so that all things are in Liberation Sans, should look better and be less wide
(Previously was DejaVu Sans for most text and Liberation Sans only for data)
