I don't understand this system fonts objection. I think I need more details other than "it is not a system font" from people in order to understand. Also, I don't know what my settings are, but changing to DejaVu gives me awful results. Maybe my eyes are screwy. I do use full hinting...I switch from a 14" laptop to a 22" lcd at my home...Lib looks good on either...I'm completely open to alternatives, but not seeing any others being proposed. If there is an OSS Segoe (cough...Frutiger) or Myriad Pro choice out there, then sure, why the heck not? I think one will have to get to work on that though.
