Just pulled, make clean && make && make doc && make install. Tried it and I
get the default font for the first and Palatino for the second, but the
lmodern is not appearing to change what's going on. I tried what usually
works for me:

\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{cmss}

and this did not work to make it sans serif. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
John
