I agree. Bitstream Vera looks awful with antialiasing turned off. (using Freetype bytecode interpreter) I've been wishing that the font be changed to something more generic (I also thing Arial would work good) for about a year now.

Hi all,
I noticed a little possibility to improve www.winehq.org with very little effort:
I am talking about the default font for the website. if you look at http://www.winehq.org/winehq_styles.css you will easily see that the default font is "bitstream vera sans", followed by "verdana" and "arial" if vera is not available.
Despite the fact that MS might be considered evil by some kids, Verdana and Arial look _much_ better and professional than Vera.
I even removed Vera from my system just tomake the homepage look better and mor profesional.
I would suggest that the responsible people switch the default font to Arial, which is also available on most Unix systems.
No Offence meant!
