Gentium is great.

I've been using it for some time, but we really need the bold versions, which are still missing.

Unfortunately, this is a topic which is not generally well understood.

Windows systems, I venture, owe some 40% of market share due to webpages being planned to render in MS-fonts. Documents print beautifully only in MS-fonts. Forms look in disarray if not using MS-fonts.

We really should have OS-agnostic fonts. And people should install them to break this MS-font vicious circle.

It' s very bad we have to use MS-fonts, which cannot be distributed with Linux!
