Font of the board

Post by Andreas » Tue Apr 16, 2002 6:27 pm

Graham, or Steve, did you modify the board's CSS and changed the font of the forums to "serif"? IMO it looks pretty ugly now, and since the font size is rather small, it's very hard to read - Arial/sans-serif was much better.  :P

I was playing with it for a wbit but I changed it back again.

Ah, thanks! It looked rather odd since the whole site uses Arial (or other sans-serif fonts, i. e. on the nav buttons)...

It did.  I think serif defaults to Times Roman.  I tried just sans-serif, but that got to Tahoma or Helvetica and I'm not particularly keen on either of them.  SO I changed it back again.  I'd use the same font that I used on the buttons if only it were more widespread, but I don't think many people have Folio Bk BT on the computers... ;D
