Man...I'm honestly just stunned at how childish this is.

If you perhaps for a second try to acknowledge that you might
have a local system issue instead of covering your ears and
kicking&screaming, we're happy to help you figure it out. In the
meantime, good luck with your demonstrative endeavor I guess.

PS: I was able to change my system font in under 8 seconds
using system settings. Seriously, what's the deal even...

Cheers
