My concern /is/ appearance, Jimmy. Not testing. I'm active in the Ubuntu artwork team, and I believe that making such a change is /not/ something that you simply propose and accept in an afternoon. This requires more thought, and I believe that the artwork team should be involved here as well.
I'm still at work, so maybe someone could make a screenshot of this font. I'd like to see how it looks. The Bitstream Vera Sans font is a good font, and I believe that the condensed version will have to look very good for it to obsolete the non-condensed version. I'm also worried about the structure of a condensed font. It's not just the amount of text that you can cram on a screen that matters, really. If you've studied type design, especially their screen appearances, you'll find that there are other very important aspects. Why use a condensed font if it's less legible than an extended font, for instance? Just saying that "Ubuntu looks like a Commodore 64" is not enough for me. -- Please use DejaVu Sans Condensed as the default font https://launchpad.net/bugs/81608 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
