Fedora considering default font switchFedora considering default font switchPosted Jul 5, 2006 19:27 UTC (Wed) by simosx (subscriber, #24338)Parent article: Fedora considering default font switch
We have tried DejaVu on Fedora Core 6 Test 1 for the Greek language and it looks really good. DejaVu suits are needs.
Compare the following screenshots,
Standard Fedora Core 6 test1 (WITHOUT DejaVu):
Enhanced Fedora Core 6 test1 using Dejavu:
Even if you do not speak Greek, you can notice the difference :)

Fedora considering default font switch Posted Jul 7, 2006 5:48 UTC (Fri) by tetromino (subscriber, #33846) [Link] Yeah, but try Russian. Russian text in DejaVu looks fugly (specifically, I am thinking of the way they are doing "b", "d", "ts", and "sch").
Fedora considering default font switch Posted Jul 7, 2006 10:44 UTC (Fri) by nim-nim (subscriber, #34454) [Link] This is probably due to the fact that DejaVu cyrillic was initially drawn by Balcanic designers, and the conventions for some cyrillic letters are not the same in Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe.
The offending glyphs are progressively being replaced by russian-looking ones, with the initial shapes being moved in a special OpenType area (so as soon as Pango supports locl the right variant will be used depending on the locale). If you tried a previous version of DejaVu 2.7 and 2.8 will probably have pleasing surprises for you.
