[PD] default font for pdp_text and pdp_qtext

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

If you want to revert to that, I am fine with it.  I never could get  
that helmet.ttf font working, that's why I switched it to Bitstream  
Vera.  Since GNOME used that font as its default, it would be the most  
likely font to be already installed.
