Bug Description

When the installer is started, and the partitioning stage is done, there is a dropdown present at the bottom of the installer to show specifics on what is happening. However, the kerning is so bad that the garbled letters can't even be read.

That is a terminal display, I suppose. Not sure what font it is using but it sure as hell isn't pantheon-terminal's mono font. Agreed that it looks bad and should be looked into.

Replace "Ubuntu Mono 8" with "Droid Sans Mono 8" in the file /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py to fix this bug.

After I did that "fix", it reverted the font size back to 8. I think that is not much of a deal.
