What fonts do you use?

Bitstream Vera Sans

I second this, Bitstream completely agrees with me.

Is anyone of you using a certain method to render fonts in a smoother way?

[Rackerz]

Well I've got an LCD flat panel so 'Subpixel Smoothing', I think thats what its called.

I've been happy with the defaults in Kubuntu and Ubuntu... basically DejaVu.... Is there something wrong with me?

me too ;D

i like to use strange fonts on gimp,but i don't like to see other fonts in applications

Mabye it's just me, but doesn't Verdana look like a copy of {DejaVu/Bitstream Vera} Sans?

(DejaVu/Bitstream Vera are the same thing, DejaVu has more glyphs though).

No it's the other way around. Bitstream Vera Sans is a clone of Verdana.

In former times I had a great file which contained the font Lucida Grande. I used it @ 7 pt under SuSE 10.0 and it looked awesome. Never ever found an equivalent to it.

Used to use Lucida Grande, but now use Lucida Sans Unicode (easier to read). Back on Windows, I used Segoe UI (the new Vista font) but it looks too thick the way it's rendered within Ubuntu.
