[texhax] default font in LaTeX

[Adrian Dusa]

Dear all,

I want to produce a figure using Inkscape which has some text, and I would 
like that text to be as close to the text in the main paper.

What is the default font that is used when compiling a document?
Alternatively, is there a "standard" font for figures?

TIA,
Adrian
