Maybe it would just be easier if someone attached a .org file that functions
as you think would work well -- with both the document and the babel/TikZ
export having the same sans-serif font. Perhaps then I could simply C-e p
the document and C-c C-c the babel block myself to examine how it behaves?

I was not able to get the conditional :export code provided to work.

Thanks,
John
