 The default font for the visual editor in trunk has recently changed from
 a Georgia stack to sans-serif. I believe this is a regression and I was
 able to track it down to the following changeset [19982]

 This may be hard to see on a stock install of trunk running Twenty Eleven.
 The reason for this is that Twenty Eleven provides a custom stylesheet for
 the Visual Editor. To see what I am talking about, you will need to
 install a theme that has no editor stylesheet.

 Here is what text in the Visual Editor looks like in 3.3.1

 Here is what test looks like in the latest trunk:

 Removing the font styles from the body element in wp_theme/content.css
 seems to do the trick. Not sure if this is the best approach. Patch to
 follow.
