I am not a dblatex crack, so my workflow was, to mostly copy the code from
other project (installation-guide).
The reason for the used fonts in installation-guide is probably historical
ones, nothing really intended.
If you have reasons to use other fonts, and you manage that to build, please 
do. No objection from my side, of course :-)
With my font choice I got it to build successful, that was my main point.
