[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.
