Tried it on 1280x800 LCD, in general looks good and clear, with
greyscale and subpixel(BGR) hinting, struggled to notice any extra
benefit from hinting above "slight" setting.
One thing which looked *MUCH* worse was using DejaVu Serif within
firefox, text was spiderish, and kerning was uneven, letters ran
directly into each other

So I just set the default proprtional font to DejaVu Sans in firefox.
I'd still choose to install DejaVu fonts, presumable Vera wouldn't be
removed by this?
