You can see that the first-priority default UI font of every LibreOffice
applications are, "Andale Sans UI". However, "Andale Sans UI" is not
available on all system. I guess "Andale Sans UI" will be installed with
StarOffice. So it's not logical to be used as the first-priority default UI
font.

Look at
http://opengrok.go-oo.org./xref/libs-gui/vcl/source/window/window.cxx#287

The font also is used as the last-resort fallback font. I suggest we
reconsider the use of this font and create a better font list that works
more cross-platform and cross-locale.

As a side-effect, this would help us fix a Thai locale-sensitive bug :
