![]() ![]() Now that we know that the designers are right that it looks great on a Mac, can we have a better font stack for Windows and Linux? Bitstream Vera Sans, similar to Verdana and used in the old design, is also excellent.Ĭlearly no one has more than cursorily checked what this looks like on windows or Linux. The phpBB support forum uses: "Lucida Grande","Trebuchet MS",Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serifįor example, for my no more young sight, the most readable font for small text on Windows is Verdana, naturally. Since this typeface is usually absent from other operating systems like Windows and Linux, the style sheets of these websites often include Tahoma, Verdana or Arial in case Lucida Grande is not available for rendering.įacebook uses the following font-family: "lucida grande",tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif are not using Lucida Sans Unicode for Windows users.įont-family in the old design: "Bitstream Vera Sans",Verdana,Helveticaįont-family in the new design: "Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans Unicode","Lucida Sans",Lucida,Arial,sans-serifĪpart from Mac OS X, many websites and blogs use Lucida Grande as the default typeface for body text, for example Facebook and many phpBB message boards.

According to Firebug for CSS and verified with direct comparison on OpenOffice, for Windows users it's Lucida Sans Unicode in the new design, and Bitstream Vera Sans (wide font, similar to Verdana) in the old design.Īs I've commented in is ready to QA!, the problem seems to be that Lucida is good on Mac (Lucida Grande) but not good on Windows (Lucida Sans Unicode). narrower and less readable than the old font. I find the font used in the new design for the body text (small text like this) of news, posts, etc. Support from Acquia helps fund testing for Drupal Comments ![]()
