Bug Description

The Ubuntu font is a UI font, not a font for long-form reading. Helvetica's best use case isn't long-form either, but short attention grabbing blurbs; it's blocky contours are made for that purpose and so it's slightly disruptive for reading long-form. I'd like to suggest or at least have the option of using a serif font stack. At the moment, one has to alter the CSS lightread uses and then compile. I'm hoping this could be an option with or without the typography arguments.
