--- Comment #15 from Ronald F. Guilmette <rfg-freebsd at tristatelogic.com> ---
Thank you for your patience and your understanding that this is a user
experience issue.  I and many others have made clear that the end user
experience with the current default fonts configuration is entirely less than
optimal.  (I have already posted links to other online comments by other
parties who feel as I do about these bitmapped fonts, and about the pointless
hassle they represent, and even the Handbook calls these fonts out as being
ugly.)

I should note also that since I have changed my font configuration to rid
myself of the abomination that is, apparently, bitmapped fonts, I have seen
-zero- ill effects.  That fact in turn causes me to wonder why we are even
still discussing this.  Is there some ambiguity or some specific person or
group who is pushing for bitmapped fonts to remain as a default part of the
default font configuration on FreeBSD?

If the bitmapped fonts aren't actually helping anybody, then it seems like
rather a no-brainer to turn them off by default.
