There appears to be no way in QtDesigner to not select any font - one 
has to choose from a drop-down.

So, in this particular file, I have edited out all mentions of any font 
family - the field is empty.  The plugin still compiles successfully, 
and runs as normal, at least here.

Strangely, when now viewing the file in QtDesigner again, the font 
family again shows as Ubuntu.  Here, this would seem to be the default 
setting when viewed in Designer.  It is not what exists in the file, but 
only what would be used if that field gets edited.  Having now looked at 
all the ui files in a text editor, and contrary to what I said earlier, 
there are no further references to a Ubuntu font.  The only references 
still present refer to either Sans or Sans Serif, probably from initial 
design under openSuse.  Ubuntu only seems to get in when a text field is 
edited and no change of  font is selected, whereupon the apparently 
Mint/Ubuntu default of 'Ubuntu' is used.

So, to comply with your suggestion "Please verify the ui files don't set 
a particular font", any ui designed in QtDesigner will have to be hand 
edited on completion, but whether it achieves anything, I don't know. 
It would seem to be a good idea though, not to choose to use a 
distro-specific one.

So far, I have edited just this one file, and the eight remaining don't 
refer to Ubuntu.  Are you happy for me to just commit the change to this 
one file?
