Hi,
I recognized that if you add a point layer and like to show labels (e.g. to display a value per item), you get (IMHO) ugly default settings:

• font: Ubuntu
• flags: Bold
• size: 11
  The result is that you have a little bit ugly layout, as the font looks a bit like Comic Sans/Modern/... and isn't a good choice for serious mapping, similar for the big characters.

So I suggest the following defaults that (IMHO) look a bit more serious for most scenarios:

• font: Arial
• size: 8
• no flags

I don't think you have Arial on Linux installs. On windows you do.

On Ubuntu I do have it, but anyway every more decent font (non rounded character shapes, non serif, ...) would be ok.

This is an ancient FR, nowadays the defaults are based on the system default, e.g. on KDE "Noto Sans", 10, Regular, which looks more than decent. Should be closed.
