What makes BeOS and Haiku unique
The screenshots are scaled a bit. They look better full-size:

Hm, character spacing is pretty much broken in this screenshot. Not sure what is going on there, but it is certainly not completely correct.

That's a screenshot of BeOS, so the font rendering engine behind that is from 1998. Not very surprising, then :)

Those screenshots are DejaVu Sans, not Noto Sans, and with a different font rendering engine than the ones in this article. We should probably update those, though.

Ok, is there a screenshot from the current Haiku build?

D'oh, I had a haiku screenshot selected at first, but then I picked that one because it had more stuff on it. Didn't notice it was a BeOS one.
