Libertinus Sans (but not mono) looks good in Pan, so I've set that.  Set
the mono font to Liberation mono, which is also what the post editor uses.

I wondered if the Linux Biolinum (mono) font looked better than the 
Libertinus mono, so tried it -- didn't like the look of it.  One
thing that stood out is how far to the left the "l"s (ells) were...
kerned?  (I don't know the proper font term, but they seemed to be
offset to the left in their character slots.)
