So basically, Liberation is meant to be the default serif, sans-serif and
monospace in documents such as web pages? Just saw some screenshots of
Liberation being used as the system font, and while I don't think it's ugly,
I can understand what you mean. Nice to hear that Dalton Maag have been

I've seen the Liberation font, it's very nice and probably a lot better than
either one of the fonts discussed here, judging from the samples. I'm not on
my Ubuntu box right now, do you have a screenshot showing how it looks as
rendered with the system's default anti-aliasing settings?

It wouldn't be a bad idea to include some other fonts to cover some
of the more common scripts. I'd be more interested in having default
support for Simplified Chinese than a bunch of fancy Latin fonts that
you hardly ever use. Only the basics should be supplied.

I think it's a difficult issue. DejaVu Sans is a very good font, as
is DejaVu Sans Condensed. The former has the advantage of being more
extended, which aids readability, and the latter might be slightly
more elegant and allows for more information to be shown on the screen.
In any case, a
I think that it should be possible to reduce the amount of default
fonts without giving up on the most often used writing systems. I
personally think that it's important that users of Arabic, Hebrew,
Devanagari, Cyrillic, and eastern logographic writing systems, should

Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor
The documentation of this package is ancient. It's, in fact, so old that
it states the window should have no more than two tabs in its main
window, while there are four by now. It has no information on the
"System" and "File Systems"
I have this too. The window title font is slightly larger than it should
be. I actually thought this was a feature! To be honest, I like it; the
window title is important on-screen information, so it made sense to me
that it would be a little bigger.

A while ago, I replied to this bug about not liking the font at all. It
seemed that a more extended font like DejaVu Sans was more readable, due
to the fact that broad fonts with a large x-height are simply found to

I'm currently unable to check on how that website looks with Condensed,

You know, I really don't think that this font is all that great. The
