Re: Bitstream Vera Fonts 1.0 beta released

Right, great news, but what is the significance of this? What is the big deal? I know new fonts is great, but I'm happy running all of my gentoo systems with classic high quality fonts like arial, times new roman, courier*, etc., with my own custom downloaded fonts.

So whats the huge fuss about?
