The remark about ugly font settings is apropos not only for Debian, but for all distributions. To a large degree this is simply a consequence of shipping terminally ugly fonts instead of good ones. No distro installs with Libertine, by default, or even Droid, but they may be the only tolerable Free proportional serif fonts. Must we "apt-get install ttf-linux-libertine" forever more?
