Hi All,
TL;DR Version; - I suggest we set the default fonts in openSUSE to the Source Sans/Serif/Code family from Adobe.
I hate to be a broken record, but shouldn't this be the subject of, at least, an opensuse-announce cross-posting? In fact, maybe it should have originated in opensuse-features with cross-postings in opensuse-factory and opensuse-project. You are proposing a basic change to the aesthetics of openSUSE, not just how well the next release is progressing. It will probably generate a lot of help requests in the User/Support mailing lists and forums from people who want the fonts to look like they have always looked. Adding boilerplate instructions to the wiki about what needs to be installed to make the font reversion will help, but that would be after the user community had a font evaluation forced upon them without their inclusion in the consultation. Another series of cross-postings, perhaps? Being a matter of aesthetics, maybe the folks in opensuse-artwork might have an informed opinion to express? There's also the folks in the Globalization mailing lists that probably see more diacritical marks in ten minutes than a user of the 26 letter Latin alphabet will see in a lifetime. That's a decidedly different kerning model.
