You would think so, wouldn't you.  However, Ububtu changes that to use 
its own font, presumably in its style.

Yes, I get that.  What I've done is to hardcode my own font in the code. 
Hopefully, Ubuntu won't find that.  As it's just in a plugin, rather 
than a fully-fledged app, the user may not object - unless Chinese. 
Sadly, though, there is still a difference in the visual widths, but I 
need to check more closely.
