[Bug 81608] Re: Please use DejaVu Sans Condensed as the default font

[Michiel Sikma]

I hope that you realize that changing the default font of the operating
system is a gigantic change. I really cannot stress this enough. It will
affect everybody, and everybody is going to notice it. Making such a
change requires extensive discussion and consideration by everybody
involved in the making of this system, including the programmers and
most notably the designers.

I'm currently at work, so I'm unable to see how this font looks for all
screen elements. It would seem that if the hinting is not as good as
DejaVu Sans, that's a big argument against using DejaVu Sans Condensed.
Could you attach two screenshots, one that shows our current default
font and one that shows DejaVu Sans Condensed? And I personally would
prefer some more screenshots that show multiple amounts of hinting
("medium", "low", "none").
