[sugar] sugar system font in cairo

[Jim Gettys]

This is the best bet indeed.  Fontconfig lets us change the actual font
used behind the application's back.

For example, it is quite likely we'll move to using the DejaVu font
family, rather than Bitstream Vera.  DejaVu, a direct derivative of
Vera, has much better language coverage.  And who knows what we might
use in a year or two.  We don't want to have to go mucking around
through all the applications to make things match.
