[[User:emichan|Emily Dirsh]] created a web application<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-July/003011.html</ref> for easy comparison of Droid Sans and Cantarell, so the Design Team can chose one of them as a branding body text "Everyone go and try it out so we can pick a font already" and with this visual comparison a number of team members favoured<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-July/003016.html</ref> Cantarell "I'm definitely liking Cantarell more. Like Nicu said, it feels it has more breathing spacing and I think is a bit easier to read." The topic was also discussed at the team's weekly meeting<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-August/003084.html</ref> and it was decided to try Cantarell and look for alternatives for unsupported locales, like Cyrillic and CJK.
