O.K., I see the point about UI's which I hadnt previously considered as I
dont use Gorm / IB for creating interfaces.

...but it's not what most of those people necessarily want to type. My
problem is with text input, not UI. I may be an english speaker, but I
quite often have a need to type non English words - mainly place names.
Try giving street addresses in Prague and you run up against this very fast.
Whilst I am happy to drop accents left right and centre, this is rude
to the locals :-)

So, my alternative suggestion would be to use Vera by default for
interfaces, but to use FreeSans by default for text input boxes possibly ?
That way people who read english can still use the apps "out of the box" to
write text in their own languages.
