Fonts

[Le Bateleur]

I basically want things to go back to how they were before without me having to do anything.

If this is does not happen I will complain about it for a moderate amount of time, before either taking action to change the font in my browser, or deciding to put up with the change.

I reserve the right to intermittent future moaning about when the fonts used to be cool.

Dyslexic fonts usually employee very cartoonish looks like Comic Sans, because (AFAIK) Dyslexics have a hard time distinguishing characters from one another. OpenDyslexic itself is much harder to read for people without dyslexia and is a lot like Comic Sans. There are extensions that can make OpenDyslexic available on every website you use.

Our primary font is Open Sans, a popular Google sans-serif font. This is applied to anywhere on the website that is not a title.

Our secondary font is Lato, a Google serif font. It is used on widget titles and some other places.

Our tertiary font is Palatino, Quattrocento, a Google serif font. It's used exclusively in forum messages and comments (like profile posts, media, forum groups).

Are there any complaints?

Any non-Google fonts?

I actually like the new fonts. I looked up the other day and said to myself, "Boy, my title sure is looking sexy today. I think I'm gonna print it out, tape it to my shirt and go out on the town. E'ryone be like, "Daaaaaamn son, look at that san-serif! Damn shit be tasty!"

And I'll be all like "Kiwi Farms, Represent!" I'll throw up the sign f the Kiwi then fly away on my magical meteorite sneakers.

(Seriously, it's a rather fucking benign font, people. Relax until everything is written in Copperplate and Papyrus.)

If you want I can just download the font and put it on static.kiwifarms.net

I really don't care what font it is as long as it isn't Wingdings or Arabic or Japaroo.

For people who don't like the change you could have one skin that uses a sans serif font, and another that has a serif one. At least I think that's possible and not time-consuming.

Really though, I didn't think my request was going to cause so much hullabaloo. I don't really care that much, I just made a throwaway comment that I think a serif one would look better. It looks like I am in the minority though.

Personally I like the old font, it was a bit easier on the eyes, but it's not like Null changed Sonic's arms to be blue.

Does it? is the question.

Does it? is the question.

Well, I like what we have right now, but apparently my opinion is unpopular.

The font we're using now is quattrocento and it looks really nice. People'll get used to it.

My only complaint about the fonts is the mix of sans-serif and serif fonts in chat. Seeing the sans-serif name and the serif message is fucking bizarre.

Fairly sure that google haven't found a way to put a 3d penis scanner in their fonts yet.

OTOH, The old kiwifarms.net font was a step (ie pressing ctrl-minus once corrected it) too big compared to the font on cwckiforums, seems much closer to the right size now.

The rule is: Anything written by a poster is Serif.

 

[Arkangel]

I also don't particularly like the mix of serif and sans-serif fonts. It looks aesthetically unappealing. It would be much better IMO to just stick with a sans-serif font for everything.

 

[LordCustos3]

I see no problems whatsoever.

nah, I totally d0n't get what all the fuss is ab0ut.

 

[Guardian G.I.]

I think Quattrocento is worse than the previous tertiary font, although it's not as bad as Rockwell or some other kind of font that was used by Null for a while yesterday. It was bloody awful and made my eyes hurt for real.

Also, the current text size in forum messages is too small for me. It's fine when I use other fonts, though.

You've hit on the right idea. All text should now be blue.

Who really reads what other people write anyway
