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

[Michiel Sikma]

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.
