Public bug reported:
Impact
------
On the About screen found in Settings > Details, the distro name and version
(Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) is hard-coded to use the Ubuntu font.
While the rest of the distro-logo.patch (or ubuntu-gnome-version.patch)
has a reasonable chance of being applied upstream, that tweak would need
to be a permanent Ubuntu patch.
The Ubuntu patch causes an issue for derivatives that are not Ubuntu
like System76's Pop!_OS. They could remove or modify the Ubuntu patch,
but it might be nicer to derivatives if they didn't need to do that.
Test Case
---------
1. From Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, open the Activities Overview.
2. Enter About and open the Settings > About screen.
Does the Ubuntu version number look ok?
3. Install GNOME Tweaks
4. Open GNOME Tweaks. Switch to the Fonts page and change the interface font to
a recognizable font.
5. Look at the Settings > About window. Does the Ubuntu version number use that
font?
Regression Potential
--------------------
Users that use custom fonts won't have the Ubuntu font represent the Ubuntu
version number.
