Bug Description
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-
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.
