Description Susan McCourt CLA 2012-05-24 12:57:44 EDT 
We should drive the font family from one place in the CSS so that we can more readily experiment with changing it.

The only place that should specify a font is in ide.css for the html, body markup.  All references elsewhere should just make whatever incremental change is needed (size, weight)

There is only one family reference now.

I've been talking to Anton for awhile about changing our default font.  After looking at http://www.webdesigndev.com/web-development/16-gorgeous-web-safe-fonts-to-use-with-css it seems that Lucida Sans is a safe choice.  Anton and I tried it out and switched over as part of this commit.
