Site appearance

Mike,

Have the fonts on the web site been changed?

They're appearing different on both my iPhone and desktop.

I noticed the same thing. I thought I'd inadvertently done something to my settings.

Yes. The font has been changed.

You know when you're a regular on IIS when you notice when the font changes!

Yes, I also noticed it is changed and difficult to read at normal distance. Can you restore previous fonts.

LOL H, glad you said it first.
I agree tho, can't put my finger on why, but it seems to give me eye strain. Maybe that's a good thing, I'll waste less time here
I think the letters are narrower and/or they are closer together?

Hi,

I'm OK, I vote for it. Maybe my eyes are beady and closer together

Cheers

Nice pick up H,

I noticed this when I returned to the office this afternoon and checked something, thought....hmmmm do I have my zoom settings clicked up a notch?

Just saw it again and thought I might post the same question.

+1 for the new look for me....EVERYTHING looks fresh and new and clearer....

I like it!

Cheers

Chris

Seems fine to me - a little larger is the only difference. For those having difficulty, just hold down the Control key and use repeated taps of the + or - keys to change the size to suit: Ctrl+ (enlarge) and Ctrl- (shrink)

Vote against the new font from me. It's just slightly too big for my taste and no amount of CTRL - or + will get it the way I want!

I very much prefer the old font too. The new one just feels too narrow, it's much more difficult to read.

Haha, I too did the Ctrl + Wheel up/down to see if I had zoomed in as I do it pending what screen I have firefox on.

No preference, content is still awesome.

OK, I'll admit it... I wasn't sure if it was something I'd done too... whew!

A subtle little change here, new font there... its just Terry messing with our heads...

And here I was with the Ctrl and zooming in and out thinking, "hey it won't fix"!
I prefer the old font too, this one seems a little thin but I suppose I'll get used to it.
