This, and fonts, are the two areas where just about every Linux distro
falls behind Mac and Windows boxes as both companies invested a massive
amount to get professional font and graphics people to generate the
graphics for them and unfortunately, it seems eye candy is everything.
Amazingly the font situation got much better in the last year thanks to
all the Vera forks and in particular dejavu.
To the point the pango people have complained recently the dejavu team
draws too many glyphs, and the infrastructure is not able to display
them sanely (hint add BASE OpenType support to fontforge and
freetype/fontconfig/pango/whatever)
