This is an ugly matter & it is definitely not something that can be decided by

In RC2, Thunderbird still uses non-anti-aliased fonts as defaults
Actually, "jack" can be spun to mean the acronym for
"Japanese-American-Chinese-Korean"; it emphasizes the cross-cultural,
multi-lingual nature of Indiana.
Of course, the same can be said for most mainstream Linux distros. But it will
be too much of a stretch of imagination to ask an American
