XenVetana (was XenVetica)

[Kier]

Quite so. In fact, Arial is Microsoft's cheap and inferior knock-off of Helvetica, made to avoid licensing fees.

Yes, that's what I meant mjp

FWIW, here's W3Schools' list of web safe fonts.

I personally always go with Georgia and Trebuchet on my board, just because they look nice and are web safe. But I keep them as fallbacks, so Constantia and Candara can be used if the user has them on their computer.

Couldn't agree with you more. Arial is the ugliest, most useless font and I avoid it at all costs. Horrible font.

Wow, how do you feel about Comic Sans?

uh oh.......

She said Arial is the ugliest/most useless so Comic Sans can't be worse

Actually I get the impression there is kind of a misconception about Comic Sans, it's not that the font itself should be hated, but the misuse of it

Maybe I missed the download link somewhere, but is XenVetana available for download? It's so much better than the default style!

Edit: but then again, it's probably easy to just make the adjustments ourselves?

I always use trebuchet ms or verdana on my boards. Arial is awful and comic sans is the pits. ugh

I don't think it's available, but it is easy to do it yourself. I'm using that one here.

 

[Nick]

Been using this variation for a while now and have to say I like it much better than the default.

 

[T3G Silas]

I agree with Nick, I'm not much of a fan of fluid styles.

 

[AdamD]

Switched to the XenVetana style, I like it, much easier to read the lettering.

 

[Dragapult]

Interesting name change...

 

[Peggy]

I like it!

Where in the admin control panel should I go to change the default post font, and what are the definitions used in XenVetana? Sorry if I missed this info earlier...
