[ubuntu-art] Liberation Fonts

[Ashton]

I've loaded up Segoe and other fonts in the past. They look great, of
course, but there are some areas where I try to stick with open, and um,
tolerable solutions...When I first subbed Lib sans for Sans, I felt it was
an improvement. I realize everyone is going to prefer one over another,
though, and have no problem setting it up myself, until something better
comes along. I believe Linux Mint uses Lib Sans as default sys font...or did
at one point. Haven't checked Mint out in a long time.

A bit hypocritical since I use plenty of other non-free solutions for
various things...but yeah, who knows why we do the tings we do?

Máirín Duffy, art dev at Fedora, has a study of fonts and licensing that
someone might find interesting:http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/fonts/

I don't know what Fedora Sulphur is using as default sys font, though. Is it
Liberation?
