I think that if we are looking for a complete change in Ubuntu desktop look with Hardy, this is a real important point that have to be consider, as much as sounds, wallpapers, icons, etc. A nice font setting make a considerable change in the whole visual, make the desktop experience a lot more confortable, and so much more, so we really cannot disregard this as a fundamental important point. If we have already agreed that we gonna change Hardy top to the bottom, I don`t see the point why we have to stick with the same default fonts..
The fonts have to match the colours, the icons, the sounds, etc. Will the same fonts match if we change everything else? Cheers! T.
