I wonder what gnome uses by default on factory?

dejavu is our default, but I use liberation-fonts 1.04 now and I have to say
the difference to the arial webfont I used before is not noticable to my
font blind eyes :)

Excerpt from /etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf:
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Arial</family>
<family>Albany AMT</family>
<family>Verdana</family>
<family>DejaVu Sans</family>
<family>Liberation Sans</family>
<family>SUSE Sans</family>
<family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family>
<family>Nimbus Sans L</family>
<family>Luxi Sans</family>

Considering that list starts with two metric equivalents of each other that
more closely match Liberation, I'd say Liberation needs to get moved above the
larger Verdana & DejaVu, if the Liberation in the repo gets updated
to latest version.

Also, it makes no sense that anything falls in between DejaVu & Vera, since
there's probably no closer metric match on the planet. Maybe Mike Fabian knows
some reason.
