He's right; those fonts look terrible. So crisp, so clear.
The icons are a bit cartoonish but are also rather clear
(though one might quibble about the wrench metaphor for
"Options" -- but then how does one draw a mad scientist's
control panel? :-) )
Now perhaps Doctor GroundAxe can sharpen his axe a bit
and point out precisely where the fonts are problematic?
Especially since Linux has been able to use Microsoft's
own fonts for some time now?
