Tried it on 1280x800 LCD, in general looks good and clear, with 
greyscale and subpixel(BGR) hinting, struggled to notice any extra 
benefit from hinting above "slight" setting.

One thing which looked *MUCH* worse was using DejaVu Serif within 
firefox, text was spiderish, and kerning was uneven, letters ran 
directly into each other

So I just set the default proprtional font to DejaVu Sans in firefox.

I'd still choose to install DejaVu fonts, presumable Vera wouldn't be 
removed by this?
