If we ship a default configuration that includes the settings for the  
"widely used but ugly" fonts that were mentioned, then most users  
won't even need to know it exists; it'll Just Work.

(But of course you're right, it needs to be described somewhere so  
that advanced users who want to customize it for additional fonts will  
know where to go....)
