are so used to seeing Ubuntu font everywhere that I miss it when it’s not there!
Can we change the default font? I found a post on meta.discourse.org detailing the process, which seems straightforward (and harmless).

It shouldn’t be hard indeed, but the part of the eyes getting used to it concerns me a bit. This is a multi-distribution forum, so I’m guessing most people won’t be used to the Ubuntu font either.

For me, the Ubuntu font is rather painful. I’m quite happy with the nice font Discourse uses now.

Oh, I certainly didn’t intend to exclude anybody with the font choice.
It was a mistake to start with a subjective angle, since ultimately we all have our own preferences. The Ubuntu font is distributed under a permissive license and is used in the logo atop every page as well as the rest of snapcraft.io. For consistency’s sake alone I would argue for the switch.
I think the ubuntu font is one of the best looking free fonts out there. Perhaps just for h* elements if some people find it bothersome for block text?
