Fw: Default font configuration doesn't look right on Fedora...

[matt palsson]

 Woops, wrong thread.  Below message was intended for the cloud e-mail I think?

 Sorry for spamming everyone this afternoon.  I've been a bit out of touch.

 Just chiming in again.  I wasn't able to participate in the naming of Fedora 20 but I LOVE it.

 Best name yet :)  P.S.  Can't wait to fire up a brand new Fedora 20 stick---  it might be a few
 weeks though.  Until then I am living vicariously through your conversations....

The standard on what you or I want is irrelevant.  Windows, Mac and the mobile platforms iOS/Android define the baseline for font-rendering and this is the standard for which web-designers work hard to craft their pages.  Relative to those systems Fedora's out-of-the-box configuration is incorrect and out of place.

I myself am perfectly fine with the way fonts appear out of the box on

As long as I have a great terminal color-scheme I'm happy but I also think that great looking web-pages are also important too.
