But it looks as if, for xfce users (even if nobody in gnome is

And some related questions:
1. Is cantarell still the preferred font for non-monospace usage in
gnome ? I assume gedit and perhaps abiword are the relevant
packages. If it is not, I can change the Cantarell description in
TTF-and-OTF-fonts from "and is the preferred font family for the
GNOME-3 user interface" to and used to be ... : but I know nothing
about what gnome uses / prefers these days, except that ultimately
on a normal system all text in a latin alphabet will fall back to
DejaVu Sans.
Cantarell seems to still be the recommended, at least as far as I can
see in GTK3, gsettings-desktop-schemas, and gnome-themes-extra
I'm not sure how accurate that is though, I don't have the git
repository up in front of me.
2. Is Source Code Pro definitely preferred for monospace usage in
gnome ? I assume that anything using dconf might have a different
setting from what is in gsettings-desktop-schemas. But if it is, I
can add it to that page - it seems a usable font although not
something I would choose to use.
As far as gedit, mousepad, Abiword, and other gsettings-desktop-schemas
users are concerned, it is. Note that I have "Monospace Regular" at size
10 in my GNOME Tweaks window, but I don't know if that is the default or
not. I don't think I set that manually, it might be adjusting to what I
have installed in the system and choosing Monospace Regular as a
fallback, but it's been a while.
