Not sure if it's my browser being wacky but BadWeb is MUCH easier to scan/read at the moment! Thank you Blake if you went to a cleaner font. I'm a fan of good 'ol Arial.. .

;)

I noticed the same thing and got a little scared. I thought I was going blind.

You know, like how a light flickers real bright before it burns out. LOL

I shouldn't have to crank the text size up to "largest" on my 19" LCD to read this site.

I could just post in the largest size to get the point across...

I noticed too. But... I liked the old font better. Oh well.

hahaa! well, there's some feedback building for ya, Blake ;)

i'm definitely a designer guilty of loving teeny-tiny, san-serif text on the web (even though i feel this change looks 'normal'. maybe one pixel size bigger? guess i'm used to the Comic Sans but its almost as bad as Brush Script... eewwwww. (yeah, i'm a font snob. too many variations = big no, no.)

So this morning it is Arial, size 2, I think last night is was either the same thing bolded or something different.

I liked that bolder one better.

And there was nothing wrong with the original font.

huh, the responses are really interesting to me. by 'normal' i meant what 'most' prefer when testing different fonts on websites and applications. i do lots of user testing and participatory design and almost always i would have received very different responses to pages mocked up in Comic Sans vs. Arial 12px. Especially for long paragraphs of text set in black on a tan background.

but i'm fine either way! i'll read BadWeb just the same although i've thought to mockup a new architecture and styling a few times, just to do it. you guys would be an interesting bunch to test with. guess the group really is 'different in every sense', hahaa ;)

btw, i'm not to blame for the fonts changing. surprised Blake or someone has chimed in. i see there's been a few things getting a make-over 'round BadWeb.

I realize my eyesight is going south quickly, but I find this font difficult to read. Could wear my glasses, but I don't wanna : )

Is it true that when one's shorts are too tight it can lead to impaired vision?

No, but I hear if your own hands are in your shorts too much it can lead to blindness, but it hasn't happened to me yet. eek

Ooops!

I now realize that the difference between what I saw last night and what I am seeing today resides in differences between my desktop machine and my laptop.

This now looks good on my laptop so I need to figure out how to make it look good on the desktop machine.
