[Bug 81608] Re: Please use DejaVu Sans Condensed as the default font

[Michiel Sikma]

I think it's a difficult issue.  DejaVu Sans is a very good font, as  
is DejaVu Sans Condensed.  The former has the advantage of being more  
extended, which aids readability, and the latter might be slightly  
more elegant and allows for more information to be shown on the screen.

In any case, a consensus is necessary for such a massive change to  
occur.  Changing the default font is not something that's decided  
very easily.  It will affect every single user in a significant way.   
A font can make or break the communication with the user, after all.   
So maybe the right way to go about this change is to start a public  
debate on the issue.
