Topic: Looking for a condensed Serif font

What I really would like to use for my desktop is DejaVu Serif Condensed, but this condensed version doesn't work in some apps (FF, for example) or OpenBox (it's falls back to Sans). So I'm looking for a Serif font that is more condensed as default - ie "normal". Also, I'm going to use it in size 8, so it can't look too small, like many Serif fonts do.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Yep. I didn't find anything that would fill my needs, but I did find two rather nice Serif fonts called Petit Latin and Neuton (also available in cool Cursive).
