Hello all,
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up in hopes to get some good
ideas about this. I proposed long ago a set of ideas as far as artwork
goes to integrate for the next version of openSUSE. One that I wanted to
tell you about is changing the current font to open sans. This font
family is very complete and also features a clean and sharp look for
screens. Every time I use it, I feel that it can be changed to bold,
thin, semibold and it keeps a strong presence and welcoming feeling.
It also coincides with recent advances made by the design team at SUSE
that chose this font also to be featured in artwork for our openSUSE
booths and marketing materials.
To see examples of this look here

I have the means to push this change so I just wanted to check on some
thoughts about it.
Thank you
It looks clear and nice however some tests  are needed to set by default.
Did you test it on your system? Where is the source to install it?
Regards,
I used the source provided by google at their fonts page. You can
download the entire family as a zip file. I have tried this on KDE and
Gnome with nice results. Let me show you the combination that I have on
KDE right now.

Thank you for pointing me to the source.

It looks nice, clear and using less space than Sans Serif.  

I will be testing it on different settings for app windows next few days ahead.

Regards,

Rick Chung
