I think my only issue now (which I forgot to add originally) is the 
perceived increased size of bold fonts, which others have mentioned, to 
me it seems to be equivalent to at least a +1 point size compared to the 
"book" weight.

However Arthur Pemberton <pemboa at gmail dot com> thinks :

I installed the font when the thread last came up over on
fedora-devel-list and I have got to say that it is a big difference.
The fonts seem easier to read, and the contrast beween bold and normal
is a lot better.
