slow-dog.entry13.07.2002: "site: font?"

[Previous entry: "misc: lex"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "site: pick a color"]

Slightly new font. Thumbs up? Down? Meh?

This may be a precursor to a site overhaul, which would pretty much keep everything looking the same, but change the underlying structure a great deal.

meh. It's nice, but a little too serif-y.

My biggest complaint about the scheme right now is that it's next to impossible to read the green-on-brown visited links.

Is that better, or worse?

better, but still not easily read. the real problem is basic color scheme. Green and brown don't contrast well.

ummm....The new color is cyan, I thought. It isn't? Damn you and your red green color blindness.

Strange -- I swear to god it was green before. The CSS must've cached.

Yeah, much more readable ... but, not to be whiner, but ... it's not that pretty. IMHO.

I used to be a big sans-serif junkie, but conventional web design wisdom seems to indicate that serif fonts are better for content text, and sans-serif fonts are better for header text. That's why I switched. Partially, at least.
