--- Comment #28 from Eike Hein <[email protected]> ---
This actually seems a bit premature. I agree Vern's work is great, but we need
to come up with a plan for how to get it into the hands of people.
Specifically, that would be drawing up the requirements the family will need to
satisfy before we can modify a KDE release to default to the Oxygen fonts if
installed*, deciding on the form in which we want to release the fonts (bundled
with runtime or workspace? separate tarball?) and working with distributions to
encourage them to ship with the default intact.

* = If we even want to do this, that is. KDE currently defaults to fontconfig
aliases like "Sans" and "Sans Serif", leaving the mapping of those defaults to
actual font families up to packages lower in the stack and thus the
distributor. We could rely on the distributor to set up Oxygen, or we could
make the code explicitly prefer the family.
