Waree - True type font for linux

If you haven't checked out the Waree Book font in Ubuntu 8.04 yet , then you should. Check out the image below - This shot was taken at 86 dpi on a Thinkpad T61 lcd display. Agreed they look very very similar to deja vu but believe me there's a world of difference between the two. Especially in the numbers. Waree has lean numbers. Check the shot below comparing the Waree with Deja Vu Sans :

Check out how Deja vu looks fatter as compared to Waree. Some how I like the fonts esp. the numbers to be lean. :)
