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 lend themselves very well for reading on a computer screen (as proved by the popularity of fonts such as Verdana and Bitstream Vera Sans on the Internet). However, most of my concern was due to the fact that DejaVu Sans Condensed didn't seem to have any hinting at all on any setting other than "slight". I must say that with "slight" as hinting, it does look very good, and, arguably, more modern than DejaVu Sans.
