I don't think there will be much people second your point. Using a serif style font "Sont Ti" as the default screen font is ugly and many people could not accept it any more. That is the reason both "Microsoft" and "Apple" had switched to sans-serif style font "Hei Ti" as the main screen font. Apple is the first, Microsoft Windows Vista is the second, why not Linux do the switch?
I agree that there's no need to change font just for showing something different from Windows. But you should know that Windows vista use san-serif style font "Ya Hei" as the default screen font NOW! For LTS, I think the WQY is actually tested more that uming, why? Because many people around me will install WQY immediately after they install the ubuntu linux. That is not to say uming is bad, that is to say a san-serif style font serves better for the default screen font than the serif style font did. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu.
