DejaVu Sans is quite wide; it is known that wider fonts are also more readable, but, in a certain way, wider fonts are cheating, as the fonts are using more pixels (size is only defined vertically). I attach a quick comparison between default FC5 fonts, Luxi and DejaVu. (image rendered for RGB LCD by OpenOffice) My comments: - Sans: DejaVu is larger than Luxi Sans (Mario are you using Luxi as the default Sans font?). Overall, the DejaVu quality is good. - Serif: DejaVU is using more horizontal space than Luxi and more horizontal and vertical space than Nimbus. In this way, it achieves a very good quality. - Mono: DejaVu is very similar to Lucida Sans Typewriter. IMHO Luxi Mono is more readable as I find serifs very useful at small font sizes and a monospaced font is typically used for terminals, where the font is often small. I'd like to have a DejaVu Serif Mono. I'd say DejaVu is very good, but I think I will prefer Luxi Mono as a Monospaced font. Well, when it will be selectable by KDE apps, as it seems Luxi Mono is not recognized as monospaced. Maybe it happens because there are some widths=653 instead of 600 in /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l047016t.afm and /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l047036t.afm Is that related to http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde&m=110617132115635&w=2 ? Where should I file a bug about that? Best regards. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it
