Its up to you, If you want a consistent font across platforms and releases
then you'd want to do this as the standard behaviour of picking up the 
platform font
means it'll be entirely up to 1) the O/S vendor, 2) the end-user config 
what that maps to.

That was true a long time ago but since 2.0 FCS we should be picking up
whatever is the platform default UI font, as defined by libfontconfig's 
'sans' font.
