Attached is the debdiff for the SRU.

** Patch added: "unity.7.2.5.debdiff"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/886478/+attachment/4401967/+files/unity.7.2.5.debdiff

** Description changed:

[ Impact ]

Users who switch the system font and then use Alt+Tab will see a jarring
effect when the Ubuntu font is displayed. This can also lead to not
fully supported language issues.

[ Test Case ]

1. Switch the system font to something else besides Ubuntu.
2. Use Alt+Tab.
3. Observe any fonts displayed in Alt+Tab follow the system font.

[ Regression Potential ]

None observed.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Original Description:

In my laptop, I have to change from default ubuntu font to droid font
because the default one doesn't fully support vietnamese. Let it sit
there will make the overall system feel awkward. And now, while the
whole system is in droid, only the switcher is still using the ubuntu
font. Plz make the switcher follow the system font or at least, make a
way to configure its appearance.

------------------------------
Desired solution:

- Alt+tab switcher should use the system font
- This change should result in ZERO change to the appearance of the font in Alt+Tab on a fresh installation of Ubuntu.
