Description Marcel Partap 2008-01-29 14:40:33 UTC

Version:           unknown (using 4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= 20080104), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24-git4

I propose to make Luxi Sans the new default for KDE. It is way prettier (imho) then Bitstream Vera and looks very good on all sizes, anti-aliased or not. Considering that, I'd also propose turning anti-aliasing on by default (no size exceptions). For me that is the most usable and nice-looking font config.. what do you think?

Maybe this is the wrong category for this? I think Bitstream really looks totally inferior, maybe we can get this changed before 4.1? Rik, can you please refer this bug to kde general?

Well, so this wish is of course pointless, sorry ;)
