What I'm also curious about is why this has always worked fine until 
recently. 'sans' is supposed to be interpreted by the underlying system 
and be substituted by a suitable font.

For some reason this is not always the case anymore in say the last 
couple of months. Is this since the appearance of Windows 8, or would it 
be due to a bug in a more recent glib version ?

I don't know. But it may make sense to investigate this first before 
papering over a bug that can/should be fixed.
