Description

Quick glance through the code:

https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=font+ubuntu&type=

Whilst the schema has a "font to use" type key - from the above search there are several instances where "ubuntu" is hard-coded.

Research direction

Start with the linked repository search for hard-coded "ubuntu" font values and compare those uses with the schema's "font to use" key. Trace each relevant use through the greeter and verify that changing the schema value controls the displayed font instead of the hard-coded value.
