I'll be a bit more forward than the other replies: NO! NO! NO!

We are:

  - beyond feature freeze
  - beyond ui freeze
  - beyond string freeze
  - beyond Release Candidate 1
  - a week before Release Candidate 2
  - two weeks before 2.2.0 final
  - still worried that the theme capplet (also in c-c) hasn't received
  enough testing
The only correct answer is a categorical NO. I'm sorry, I love fontilus
too, but this is totally inappropriate time for any such change. You could
branch, but that also seems inappropriate given the state of the theme
capplet.
