What's wrong with DejaVu? Why has the default desktop to use MS metrics? I see sense for using it in office documents but desktop/application interfaces?
Because web sites are layout for these metrics. And web sites are an important part of today's desktops.
*ROTFL* Sorry, but websites with 100% exact layout are things that will _never_ happen because - you don't know the size (especially width) of the browser window, so linebreaks aren't always the same - users can change the font size - a font might be missing - additional CSS code defined in the browser ("user stylesheet") - browser bugs - unexpected browsers (lynx anyone? ;-) - ... This doesn't mean that a page has to break on these things - if the author did his job well, it will look good at all fonts and font sizes, with any window size etc. so the page is nearly unbreakable. (You might have noticed my stress test on the redesign for *.opensuse.org in opensuse-wiki ;-) If you really want to have a perfectly reproducable layout on your website, you should publish it as PNG instead of using HTML ;-) - but don't complain if search engines and also your visitors don't really like this...
