We don't use any particular font for sans-serif and monospace. LilyPond 
simply calls the OS's default here.
Which is something I'd like to raise (once more?): Would it be an option 
to find suitable complementing fonts here, ship them with LilyPond and 
make them the default? I think chances that a default sans-serif is 
anywhere near visually suitable for a LilyPond score are pretty small. 
Usually they are chosen for very different purposes (i.e. clean screen 
display for user interfaces). While I think DejaVu Sans (default here) 
is a good font for its purposes it's really ugly when used in a LilyPond 
score.
