Why should one font family be so > far ahead, aesthetically speaking? Honestly, Liberation is...a little on the ugly side. Perfectly functional, but not beautiful or even particularly pleasant to look at. (Liberation Serif is, to be fair, considerably nicer than Liberation Sans; Liberation Mono is basically a direct adaptation of Sans.) (I've noticed this with a lot of FOSS Alternative (TM) projects; being efforts that exist solely to provide "XYZ, but unencumbered" - which is, to be fair, a perfectly valid goal - they tend to content themselves with *merely* being a functional alternative, and never strive for anything greater. Call it the "government cheese" effect.) > What are the experiences of others? What are YOUR favorite > fonts for general application use, especially in word processors > or text editors? Nimbus Mono is my preference for terminals/text editors. As far as print fonts go, I'm quite taken with Crimson Pro; very readable, but aesthetically pleasing as well.
