ui: Use system's UI fonts on all platforms instead of Lato
- The most pleasant font on any system is the default system font.

  - It is the most optimized and styled font for the system considering screen
  type and screen sizes.

  - Used by all the system apps. Websites can become consistent with system apps
  by using system fonts. GNOME, KDE, Ubuntu, Android, Chrome OS, iOS, and MacOS,
  all have their own system fonts.

  - Changed by the user using OS settings if they don't like it.

- Many popular sites have started using system fonts.

- No extra fonts have to be loaded making page loading jerk free and much
faster. On the first FreedomBox UI page load, the largest item is the font.

- We won't have carry the binary woff files in FreedomBox source tree anymore.
Also eliminates a bunch of lintian warnings.

- Lato font was used because it is prescribed by the FreedomBox identity manual.
Lato can still be used in other places such as marketing materials.

Tests:

- System font is used in the UI. When system font is changed in Gnome settings
and browser is restarted, the new font is shown in the UI.

- Check that the overall layout of the app grids is not effected by the font
size change.

- Check that all the tables in the UI are not affected by the font change.

- Backups repository listing shows each backup archive in one line.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)

The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.

Description

FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.

This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.

You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.

Getting Started

To have a running FreedomBox, first install Debian (Buster or higher) on a clean machine. Then run:

$ sudo apt install freedombox

Full instructions are available on FreedomBox Manual's QuickStart page.

For instructions on running the service on a local machine from source code, see INSTALL.md. For instructions on setting up for development purposes, see HACKING.md.
