Bug Description
Georgewilliams has a font named "Monospace." This overrides the monospace virtual font that is used in a number of places in the desktop, including in gnome-terminal, gedit, and firefox. Worse, the georgewilliams monospace font is somewhat ugly (it doesn't seem to work well with subpixel font rendering, leaving very colorful boundaries and hard-to-read text).
Is it possible to rename the font so that this doesn't happen? I'd like to have the ttf-georgewilliams fonts installed, but I don't want to have to change all the font settings in my apps to use DejaVu Sans Mono or Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.
