I've used Lato with excellent results on 2 different computers.

It's true that making a good screen font may take years. It's also true that
making KDE itself good takes years. Cantarell was itself a buggy font; no one
was expecting a perfect design. There are bugs filed against it in the GNOME
tracker, and one of them bited me hard (reverse question mark sign done
wrongly). The Ubuntu font also was buggy when it was first released, and there
were bugs filed against it.

Even Oxygen has its flaws, and has bugs filed against it. And one of them also
bites me hard (the lack of a visible indication about what part of the
interface is highlighted when I press Tab, including lack of tab highlighting)

I agree it's a lot of work. However, with a Free font we can overcome those
issues slowly. Be more tolerant about sloppy designs, let's be open about the
process, and let us have a great screen font.
