-1. I have to agree with Axel here. All except the Terminal text and
the small labels in Tracker look worse. Seems overly heavy, and our
current setup is already pretty heavy for other fonts.

If we switch, then perhaps we'd have to replace DejaVu, as it simply
looks terrible with the new renderer.


Isn't there some other version of DejaVu that looks better with
FreeType's ClearType engine? I seem to recall that it looked pretty
good on Ubuntu, are they on some other version of DejaVu that we
aren't using?
