Great article. Congratulations to the Dejavu team for their work.

There's certainly a lot of good things happening in fontland these days!

An open font design community is forming and a growing number of high quality free/libre/open fonts are being released. These fonts are a great milestone in the efforts to make the free desktop much more multilingual.

The Ubuntu community is working on various specs around fonts:
