Bug Description
[ Impact ]
Users who switch the system font and then use Alt+Tab will see a jarring effect when the Ubuntu font is displayed. This can also lead to not fully supported language issues.
[ Test Case ]
1. Switch the system font to something else besides Ubuntu.
2. Use Alt+Tab.
3. Observe any fonts displayed in Alt+Tab follow the system font.
[ Regression Potential ]
None observed.

Original Description:
In my laptop, I have to change from default ubuntu font to droid font because the default one doesn't fully support vietnamese. Let it sit there will make the overall system feel awkward. And now, while the whole system is in droid, only the switcher is still using the ubuntu font. Plz make the switcher follow the system font or at least, make a way to configure its appearance.
-------
Desired solution:
- Alt+tab switcher should use the system font
- This change should result in ZERO change to the appearance of the font in Alt+Tab on a fresh installation of Ubuntu.
