What operating system and GUI toolkit are you using?

One of the major improvements in Emacs 23 (currently in
development/pretest) is better support for fonts and Unicode on
Un*x-like/X11 systems.  I have been unable to get good fonts working
well in Emacs 22, but with Emacs 23 pretest/snapshot I find DejaVu Sans
Mono to be highly readable (and I believe that it has fairly good
Unicode coverage).
