A readable font is essential i think, that's why he gave 1 star.

And SPB is too expensive..... other launchers are 4x cheaper....

NEW criterion: PRICE

What in your opinion is the best launcher then ?
I would probably say launcher pro for its speed, but I hate lag lol. Ye for that price I would expect the fonts to work, I just gave spb a go and didn't find it that good
