After a few days with this new font set, I've found that for almost 
everything it is a much better look and very much easier to read.  But 
in some few areas the fonts get a little squirrely.

For instance in system preferences -->users & groups, if you want to 
make a change and click the lock, it prompts for a password, but the 
font is just garbage.  Fortunately the blank for the password is 
obvious.

So it isn't a perfect font set, but it is more than good enough right now.
