Yeh as most people have said it's really stable for a beta. Haven't had any problems with this release so far. Everything works perfectly! :)

I'm pretty sure that's Tahoma...

From what I know, Gutsy is supposed to have a new font smoothening method, so probably that's the reason why it looks so good.

edit: And for the terminal... just guessing, but it could be a small "monospace" (around 7pt)

[hopecon]

[Glowstick]

That's Helvetica font? Still can't decide whether I should use Segoe UI or Helvetica.

[ViperAFK]

Everything is Luxi Sans besides the console font, which is Consolas as you can see. :)

Yes the beta does have new and much improved font rendering, I love it, I have always disliked linux's font rendering so much.
