Why, if it's possible to make them look better, don't the distributions do
it?  If it's licensing problems, why, if we can produce open source
kernels, word processors, web servers, compilers, etc., can't we come up
with some decent fonts?

I, as a user, shouldn't have to mess with fonts.  I, as a hacker, am
curious about all the details of fonts and making them look better, but I
just don't have time.
