  <!-- Following fonts seems to be nicer (thicker) with hintslight instead 
       of hintfull: 

       Liberation Sans 
       DejaVu Sans
       Droid Sans
       Liberation Serif
       DejaVu Serif
       Droid Serif

       Following are better to render with hintfull, because they are too
       blurred with hintslight:

       Liberation Mono
       DejaVu Sans Mono
       Droid Sans Mono
