If she wasn't impressed the same way she probably isn't impressed with Times or Arial, then that's fine. If she wasn't impressed the way designers would like to be impressed if you showed them some brand-spanking-new fancy font, then that's fine, too because the liberation fonts are intended to be workhorses for normal documents. Or does she think the fonts are technically flawed? That's a different matter. Font design is, IMO, a terribly difficult art. --D. pgpeqPAhmwmdw.pgp Description: PGP signature
