Depending on the effects being used and desired outcome, you might
want to make the selection fuzzy (Gaussian filter), or similar with
the layer, so the effect blends in around it.

[Design-team] Font suggestion for a title

Hi:

I have a font geek/design question that is a bit outside of the regular Fedora 
purview. I'm looking for a good titling font to replace Interstate. Here's the 
whole story.

We have this actively written handbook that captures the principles, 
implementation methods, and some good stories about applying the open source 
way beyond just software:

http://TheOpenSourceway.org

An important goal of that project is that the book contents are not only freely 
licensed (CC BY SA 3.0) but the entirety of every tool and design used is 
equally free. A few months ago I realized that the site background was made 
using a non-free font (Interstate). Since I had otherwise made sure the Red Hat 
Design team who helped us with styling provided sources, I was able to fix the 
non-free state but at the cost of a nice titling font:

http://iquaid.org/2011/02/19/banner-mistake-for-the-open-source-way-website/

Ian Weller reminded me today that the Liberation Sans I used just didn't carry 
the visual weight of the Interstate. I also realized that the favicon.ico was 
still Interstate, so that needs fixing ASAP.

This time though, I'd like to take the time to get the design right. (It's 
probably worth it to make the change to Lib Sans just get the freedom status 
correct, but I don't want to let ugly sit for long.)

Any suggestions?

If it helps, here are the sources for the background/logotype and favicon:

https://fedorahosted.org/tosw/browser/website/media/images

Suggestions, patches, etc. welcome.

Thx - Karsten

I see it, too.
