I think that the problem with fonts is that 
the patented stuff regarding hinting and 
antialiasing is disabled by default and you
have to compile your own image to enable it.

Note that Ubuntu 10.04 uses DejaVu Sans by default
and it looks clear and it is absolutely readable.
This is because hinting etc. is enabled by default.

I have the opinion as Sean, but I understand that it 
is not the font that has problems, it is the default rendering
options of Haiku that "break" an otherwise fine font.

My 2 cents,

Alex Bisogiannis
