Plasma with FreeSans 9 font
Since quite a while I was in pursuit for enhancing readability of Plasma. Using
default Noto 10px font was not an option on small screen.
I'd like to propose GNU FreeSans font as default UI font for plasma. FreeSans
font was polished in 2012 and now offers really great look. Advantages are:
- closer kerning leading to more "compact" look and better readability
- sharper when small
- very large letter for size saving precious screen space
- keeping great look (reminds Helvetica and San Francisco) when enlarged (HDPI)
I've compared default Noto 10px and FreeSans 9px on screenshots. FreeSans is
1px smaller then Noto and is still nearly same size visually.
