As I understand it, Liberation was not meant to be the best font in
the world and is not our best choice. Liberation was meant as a free
option for people who want the best interoperability with MS Office
users. That means with Liberation, if you receive an office document
it's lines will wrap in the same places for you as it did for the
author.

This is a good thing the liberation font team has done but our themes
are not Word documents and therefore don't need to use Liberation.
