Is the New Font Less Readable and More Decorative?

[Greg Bernhardt]

And now is again larger, as it was before.

I did increase by 1pt. Did you like the size before at 15pt? Personally I have my browser zoom set to 110% so before the text was too small for me to read easily.

It's fine now, but thanks for the 110% tip. Just applied that too and it makes it much better for me.

Source Pro seems a bit denser

Source Pro wins among the ones mentioned here.

So I'm confused, you think at 100% the post text is still too small?

No, sorry for the confusion. It's fine now, also at 100%. But, without any connection to your tweaking of the website, I now noticed that I like it more at 110%.

I'm w/ you Greg. I found the old a bit hard so magnified my browser

How about now as I increased it by 1pt from yesterday?

Can't tell w/o side by side since although I have a memory like an elephant, I keep forgetting where I put the peanuts and I'm not sure where I have my browser settings vs where they were when I changed them to make PF a bit more readable. I certainly can't remember anything from as way far back as yesterday

I can say that whatever it is now, it works so quit screwing around and go do something useful like drinking beer.

My feedback is that I like it now.

EDIT: The g of Greg is still a little cutted off. But I still like it now.

I also see the forums texts by default are a little small. I have to zoom them into get a better view. I find the body text looks good at size of 15px. And Greg can show his g part that is being cut off if the username's top value becomes smaller. Come on Greg! Show us your "g" please.

Oh, god no, not his g. I really don't want to see his g.

I don't get it phinds.

To be honest, in between all the font changes at one point I thought it said: Greq. And almost made a thread to ask whether it was Greg or Greq because I felt something was off.

Uh ... you need to lighten up. Not everything is meant seriously.

Ah, now I can laugh at it. Hahaha! I read it now and it's funny, for real.

I see this with BOTH browsers (IE11 & Chome) and have for quite a while. Cleared cookies for both. Descenders for lettters are not there. No biggie.

The equation pushes the bottom line down. In general latex should not be in titles

Thank you, that clears up something.
