   [VOICENWS] SW: New font release: Midori

   Midori Sans is a semi-condensed sans-serif font with styling similar to   
   Frutiger, M+ or Myriad, but narrower and with a taller lowercase height that   
   helps improve readability at small sizes. It should be well-suited for   
   use in menus and dialogs. Regular and bold weights are included.

   Unlike Workplace Sans/Gothic, Midori Sans is completely unhinted, so   
   it shouldn't have the same issues as the former when it comes to   
   choosing a hinting level to use in Mozilla.     
   I've actually been using it (development versions) as my default UI   
   font in SeaMonkey for several months.  I think it looks REALLY nice,   
   personally -- much better than Workplace Sans, even though it doesn't   
   attempt to resemble WarpSans at all.     
      
   Here's a screenshot of my SeaMonkey properties dialog:

   Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to completely change ALL the   
   UI fonts... default form text, some tooltips, the about:XXX pages and   
   a few other things seem to still use Workplace Sans.  But at least my   
   menus and dialogs look really nice now... :)
