The default teletext/cc font can be reverted to freemono, my change was mostly
aimed at improving the default look of the OSDs. We don't have CC over here
and so I'm not sure whether a mono font is really acceptable aesthetically.
If not, then it may make sense to split the font settings accordingly so that
the teletext font is different to the CC font. I don't really like adding new
settings but IMHO getting the default settings right is more important.
A third option would be to drop these settings entirely and hard-code the
defaults. The OSD fonts are themable and so that setting seems redundant. Is
demand for customisable CC fonts really that great?
