The version of Liberation Fonts in Factory right now is liberation-fonts-0.1-122.3. Hmm, this looks like something that should not be. Please file a bug.
Done. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440913
Even if Liberation Fonts are going to be used, there are still two issues: (please note I use GNOME, so this is a GNOME-centric list). 1. Liberation fonts are not installed by default from the DVD as agfa-fonts were. This looks like a bug too ;(

2. Instead of replacing the bad-looking default Sans, Liberation adds it's own Liberation Sans font. The downside to this is that GNOME & GDM are set by default to use Sans, so the better Liberation font is not chosen by default. What does "fc-match sans" say?
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
agfa-fonts will be removed in any case (the decision to go with a clear DVD EULA is set and agfa-fonts license does not allow ftp distribution). The question is only about what the default should be.
I support using open source software wherever possible. I just hope the user experience is not degraded because of it.
Please note that the 11.0 live cds and ftp installations didn't have agfa-fonts either and I'm not aware of any complaints.
Neither did the 10.3 CDs, and it took me a while to figure out what happened. Don't underestimate the power of a bad font to degrade the professional look of a distro like openSUSE. That said, I'm going to install the updated liberation-fonts, and hopefully those will look better ;-). -- Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy - openSUSE Member Public Mail: <kevin.dupuy@opensuse.org> Meet Bob Barr - Libertarian for President - <http://www.BobBarr2008.com/> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
