Comment:

 I agree with John. If we can make font-stack changes for 3.1, Lucida
 Grande should be put back in.

 The whole reason for its removal was about incompatibility issues in
 Ubuntu. I thought azaozz suggested a decent solution to the problem in his
 comment here: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8352#comment:33. I
 would love to explore that more.

 I really hope that we don't end up throwing out Lucida in this release
 because after the patch was committed, we all agreed that it looked really
 bad and needed to be reverted. And I REALLY hope it is not getting thrown
 out just because it is the "easiest" solution to the problem. (design
 should not be sacrificed this way) I'm pretty sure that everyone on a Mac
 in the UI group would love to work on a solution that does not involve the
 removal of Lucida for the next release.

 If we can still make font changes for this release: please, for the love
 of design, REVERT.
