It is used as a fallback to font 'fixed' in case there is no
response from gnome-print.  The code is in src/style.c,  There is
also a reference in the stf dialog but that is going to be replaced.

The reports that concern me are crashes.  There has been a wave (4-5) of
crash reports for ximian 0.71 on redhat 7.x systems.  All of them
dispaly the same impossible back trace and crash on start up.
    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62520
is a good example.
