Kubuntu's default font?

[whatthefunk]

Ive been messing around with fonts the last few days, but want to go back to the original font. Unfortunately, I have no idea what that was Can anybody help me out and tell me what the default Kubuntu font is?

[Caaarl]

The default Font in 13.04 should be "Sans Serif" and for Mono "Monospace"
Btw: There is a "reset to default button in the font-section of the KDE-Systemsettings.
It is in the lower left corner, next to the "help" button.

Thanks!

Follow up question: Why is Sans Serif available in System Settings but not in any application font menus? Im trying to get fonts working right in my browsers, but every font I try is ugly than the last....

I use THIS approach to setting my fonts. I think the default fonts need a bit of tweaking.

Thanks for the link verndog. That looks much better than the defaults.

Just a matter of personal preference, but I switched from Ubuntu to OxygenSans font quite awhile ago and love it.

Hi. What's the default font in Kubuntu 14.04? I'm asking this because my system was upgraded from 13.10 and the font was Ubuntu (regular) and I've never changed it. Selecting restore default, it changed to Sans Serif, which I didn't quite like it, so I changed it back to Ubuntu (regular) font. Running 14.04 in Virtualbox, Ubuntu font was the one that came by default... So, I'm confused...

Kubuntu defaults

kde4rc

The default configuration profile path is read from the /etc/kde4rc. The information is used when the new user default configuration files are made.

The Kubuntu is using:

[Directories-default]
prefixes=/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/

The /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/kdeglobals is installed to the ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals when the KDE is started at the first time - when there is no existing ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals file.
