[indiana-discuss] "Indiana" is NOT ugly at all!

Most would agree that it was a pain to use Indiana DP to browse the web, b/c its fonts are so ugly.  Unless you are willing to excessively customize it, the experience has been horrible.  But as I mentioned in a separate thread, this is all changed.  Indiana can give as pleasant a web-browsing experience (at least as far as fonts are concerned) as anything we'll find.

I am attaching a new screenshot to show this dramatic change--the serif fonts in DP2 now look so crisply sharp, it is absolutely kool.  I am using this particular screenshot to show the power of the full page-width feature of the upcoming FF3, as, of all the Sun blogs, I have found Mr. P's one of the most difficult to read.  (Don't shoot me, please!)  Its defaults fonts for the main text are too small (for me anyway).  But when I increased the text fonts (Ctrl++), the page looks very funny (plse see the second screenshot).

Thus, a sincere plea:  When Indiana is officially released, please, please make sure to include Firefox 3.  If not for anything else, the OpenSolaris LiveCD will at least lend itself as a very pleasant web browser.  Thanks.
