Idea #1933: Use a better font

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #1113: Use Red Hat Liberation Fonts (They Are Amazingly High Quality).
Written by D00mM4r1n3 the 29 Feb 08 at 23:16. Category: Look and Feel. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Change the default font to Tahoma. The same used in Windows. The skinny skeletal font that Linux distros use is terrible and gives Ubuntu an unprofessional look.

Tahoma is proprietary format, so cant do that.

Tahoma is a nice font though...

I'd rather see Liberation fonts used.

As mentioned, there's no legal way to use Tahoma.

Download it and change it on your own system.

Don't change mine.
