Use system font by default

Suggested design update.

In order for Blender to feel more integrated into its supported platforms, Blender should use the system's font by default. If there isn't a known system font, it should fall back to its current font. This behavior would be similar to a system font stack in a website.

It could integrate something like this add-on: blendernation.com/2017/09/22/add-easy-font-management-font-selector/

What is the tangible benefit of this proposal, aside from being purely esoteric?

given the cross-platform nature of Blender I suspect something like this would generate a lot of bug reports when blender inevitably doesn't someone's favorite font correctly.

* @testure * I agree. This will just increase amount of unexpected behavior cases.
