Fonts changed?

Postby r3loaded » 06 Sep 2009, 16:11

Hey, is it me or has the fonts for the GTFO forum changed? They look bigger and bolder. I've checked out other websites, their fonts definitely haven't changed, so it can't be anything wrong on my end. Or perhaps I need to go back for an eye checkup?

Yeah, they've changed. Although I prefer the old fonts...

should be back to what they were...which, imo, is slighty too small.

Rest of site uses Tahoma but the forum tries to default to Trebuchet MS and then usually Arial/Helvetica. Personally I think tahoma is easier to read.

Yeah, Tahoma always looks pretty good. It was actually designed for web page use, along with its wider sibling Verdana. The "vista fonts" like calibri, cambria, candara, consolas and segoe look pretty good. Arial just looks wrong on a web page :/

Hmm is the font different on the page shown after making a post (the page that says your message has been succesfully posted etc) - everytime I see that page I think the font looks odd now... Maybe it's just me.

the date and time of each post also seems different, it looks smaller maybe :?

EDIT: just made this to show the difference...
