spidermike007 37,194 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think the site looks better, but the font size is way too small. Agreed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Crossy 27,201 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Roboto is apparently a "web standard". Our software house has started using it for their user interfaces. It's awfully difficult to read at distance. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Use a browser extension to handle the font. On Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ On Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/font-changer-plus/ameggholdkgkdepolbiaekmhjiaiiccg?hl=en I use Waterfox Classic, so the older extension No Small Text works brilliantly. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt that. Work Sans rings absolutely no bells for me, and I did previously report some CSS issues with the site relating to fonts. Link to post Share on other sites

I must admit I've been having a sly peep and it does appear more equitable now. I'll think about taking your advice. Maybe a few more wins. 555 Link to post Share on other sites
katana 2,010 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Haven't tried it on a mobile phone, but so far on a computer, the upgrade seems to be an improvement on the previous style. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Crossy 27,201 Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2020 Rest assured that there is a very similar thread (not quite as long) active in the Mods chat forum. Sadly I doubt we will be able to make any fundamental changes to how it is. We are working to return the custom functionality that has gone walkabout. Please continue to post your issues here, at least one of us is listening. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites

balo 12,649 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 OK there is an extension called Font Changer Plus for Brave and Chrome browsers. Maybe that will sort out the problem ? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/font-changer-plus/ameggholdkgkdepolbiaekmhjiaiiccg?hl=en Link to post Share on other sites
