it uses your system font. if it fails to find fonts, it uses internal fonts (that are almost the same as default OS fonts -sans-), go to conf. and you can set your own fonts

Google Chrome's font looks terrible. Anyone knows how to make it better? Or at least what is the best type of font in google chrome?

Not for me too ! but there are people whose main work revolves on these things. and this might be the first portable computer for people who can't afford a full size lappy. Something like raspberry pi .Just can't imagine the pain working on a netbook and a chromebook !!

Meh. Not ment for me..

This is for people who want to work on mail and browse the Internet and have word processing and PPT presentations and play very light games and stay connected always. You seem to expect too much from a piece of hardware which is barely a couple of 100 dollars.

So... can i put music on my windows phone with that? Or on my walkman? Can i play heavy games? Can extract a .rar file with it? Can i use programs like guitar pro and fl studio? Can i open microsoft office files?

Wow. AFAIK that thing called as "thin client" 5 years ago or "terminal client" before it or as "terminal station" even earlier. Now Google "invents" a thing that even thinner than a "thin client" - it's a "browser client" or "Browser OS".

My imaginations shows pictures of watching lagging movies by a slow connection cause I can't download them on my stateless browser PC, designers working in clouded MAYA with a 3-4 FPS renewal rate...

It's even brighter future than a communism.
