Bug Description

When starting a drawing on Ubuntu and using only fonts which are not Ubuntu (the default font), still in the SVG file, Ubuntu font is used in the style attribute of a text element. The desired font is only used in the tspan element in that text element.

The result is that also in an PDF export, the font Ubuntu is included and reported to be included. This is not only irrelevant or redundant, this is also an unwanted "leak" of default font information into SVG and PDF. It informs users that get these files that this file was created on an Ubuntu system. Something which is not of their concerns.

Additionally, exporting to PDF also includes the DejaVuSans font, which is mentioned no where in the entire SVG.

Saving an SVG file (as SVG and PDF) should at least report font names of fonts which are nog used at all because they are overridden with the font of the tspan.

This was reported for Inkscpae version 0.92.1-1 on Ubuntu 17.04. Please, contact me if you need example documents.
