I don't like Biolinum quite as much as some of the other sans-serifs but the quality is indeed good, thanks for the suggestions. Eike: Libertine is indeed a very nice serif font.

The same project has recently released a first version of a sans-serif called Biolinum. Gentium Basic and Gentium Book Basic are also spectacular fonts.
