Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-exe-thumbnailer

With recent changes in gnome-exe-thumbnailer 0.4-0ubuntu1~lucidppa2, "Reduce font size by one point (still larger than original)", labels indicating the file version becomes somewhat blurry and harder to read comparing both to the previous and original (0.3) version. The only character which gains more readability is the number 9, which can be in original confused with 8.

(For best comparison open both images in separate tabs and switch between them back and forth.)

I agree, some hallway testing showed 9 to be better but I wanted to test it to see if anyone complained ;)

Seems like I have finally solved this issue by using the "-*-clean-medium-r-*-*-6-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" x11 font. Good readability, and it can't any smaller.

Shame on me that I don't know how to create a patch, so I'm posting the whole script.
