Has any one thought about openSUSE creating their own font type for their desktops wiki and forums. Ubuntu, Mac and $Microsoft use their own style.
Creating a readable font is time-intensive, and hard to get right too. The time would be better spent on improving the existing fonts like DejaVu or Liberation. In fact, that is _just_ what happened. <!-- from 50-suse-pre-user.conf The SUSE fonts have been dropped from SuSE Linux >= 10.1 in favour of the DejaVu fonts. All extensions the SUSE fonts had over the original Bitstream fonts have already been merged into the DejaVu fonts and the DejaVu fonts contain many glyphs not in the SUSE fonts. Therefore there is no reason to use the SUSE fonts anymore. --> That said, "Ubuntu" looks terrible (no serifs, in fact, not even essential strokes in 'f', 't'), "Droid" has very wide bodies it seems, and the Microsoft "C" series (Cantarell, etc.) is just a rehash of the Monotype fonts they had in XP and before. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
