Fedora 29 Might Finally Switch To Liberation Fonts 2

This reminds me on one movie line, qoute:
"Yeah, but we have a hard date on this software, and I'm sorry, but adding pretty fonts is not gonna change that."

I don't know about you guys, but im still on xorg bitmap fonts for any real terminal work. I just don't like the feel of TTF. For anything else, i don't care much.

But that is a downgrade. Liberation 1 is much better hinted, where the so-called second edition is Googles fork which has little to no hinting and requires a hidpi screen to look good.

Phoronix: Fedora 29 Might Finally Switch To Liberation Fonts 2

Back in 2012 was feature work to upgrade Fedora from using the Liberation Fonts to Liberation Fonts 2. That change at the time for Fedora 19 was then diverted due to the updated fonts causing some fuzzy/blurred rendering. That issue has been fixed now following an update to F18 at the time and with Fedora 29 they are looking at once again trying Liberation Fonts 2 by default...
