I just made available a new style here at XenForo.com - it's the same as the normal one, except it's using the classic Helvetica font instead of the usual Trebuchet / Georgia / Calibri combination that XenForo normally uses.
Anyone like it? It's very clean, and emboldened Helvetica text is much more obvious than emboldened Trebuchet... Still, I'm not proposing a change to the default, I'm just trying stuff out
I must admit, I use that as my text messaging font on ICQ/Yahoo etcCould we have it with Comic San Serif ..... runs for cover!
Ya me too. I don't mind fixed width as long as it's a bit wider. The width of this one just makes everything feel squished up.Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiixed Widthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Tahoma is a UI font (it's actually horizontally-compressed Verdana), and it's fairly hopeless for large bodies of text, IMHO.13px Tahoma > *
Forums that don't use it just don't look right to me at all. Verdana is ok though

The "fresh look" of the serif on the default is actually much older than a sans serif typeface. You know, if you care about such historical details. Sans serif fonts are a 20th century thing. They came into favor for screen displays early on in the computer age for readability reasons.I feel the font-version comes across as more outdated. I personally prefer the fresh look of the default.
Things that were created in 1996 can be experiencing "revivals" already?Yeah but Trebuchet MS is 20th century and has recently experienced a revival in some web 2 sites.
It's a strange world indeedThings that were created in 1996 can be experiencing "revivals" already?
Pretty soon these nostalgia cycles are going to loop back over themselves and we'll start to experience nostalgia for things that haven't been created yet.
I just hope that Steve Jobs will adapt quickly enough to sell prestalgia to us at premium prices. If not, I think we're looking at the end of the world here. And that would just be sad.
Yeah but Trebuchet MS is 20th century and has recently experienced a revival in some web 2 sites. Also something which is intrinsically old can be considered fresh in a niche where everyone has been using something else for years. It depends on how you look at it. I guess he could have said 'stale' instead of 'outdated'.
