The problem is the best, most common fonts are usually not
free-as-in-speech. At best they're free-as-in-beer. There are a lot of
free novelty fonts, not so many free body fonts that look good. That's
why so many people end up downloading Microsoft's font pack when they
install Linux.
I think good but pedestrian-looking fonts just aren't something the FOSS
community considers "fun," and in FOSS if it's not fun for someone it
doesn't get done.
