Looks pretty good to me. Lacks a grain of cuteness added somewhere on
the banner, but I'll shut up about it until 1.0 is out, I guess.

Now, I find there's a bit too much purple in the homepage. OTOH, I've
seen others suggest that we even turn the download button to purple
too, so I don't know.

I would not care much about seeing these fonts adding half a MiB to
the ISO (that's what I got from tar+bz2'ing all of those fonts together).

What I'm concerned about is how it's comfortable (or a pain) to browse
our website online, especially with Tor. Usually, one would just have
browsers fetch the fonts from Google, and share the cache with other
websites that use the same fonts. I don't think we want to do that on
our website, though. And even if we did, Tor Browser isolates cache by
first-level domain URL, so we can't rely on this kind of caching.

So, in the current state of things, I can't think of a good way to
heavily use web fonts on our website, without significantly degrading
visitor experience on poor Internet connections or with Tor.

I'll look at it later.

Cheers,
