I can see your points... almost. Could you put up a few screenshots with comparisons somewhere?
I made a comparison image for DejaVu, Cantarell and Source Sans, as rendered by gnome-font-viewer on my system: http://hpjansson.org/temp/dejavu-cantarell-source.png Each of the four groups has the three fonts right next to each other at the same point size, in the order DejaVu - Cantarell - Source. I don't feel very strongly about this; all three fonts have their merits. There is quite a bit of difference at small sizes, though -- DejaVu gets the benefit of (auto?)hinting and aligns stems to the pixel grid, so it looks clearer at small sizes, which could alleviate eye strain from trying to focus on blurry edges. But the kerning suffers, and the jump to 2-pixel wide stems is quite sudden. Cantarell and Source are more similar to each other -- they're fuzzy at the edges. Source is slightly more compact -- it has less horizontal space and the capital letters are lower. It also has the old-school 'g' glyphs. -- Hans Petter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
