Newlook For Ecigssa

[Silver]

Looks like Arial now?
@Gizmo from my eyes it looks better than yesterday, thanks!

But I still maintain my view on the serif fonts with the squiqleys - that they are easier to read when reading lots of text.

This is a serif font.Sans-Serif.

Indeed and I nearly slit my throat and killed myself because of it... it was nasty and got in the way of everything...

@Gizmo, sans-serif means "without serif" - sans means without

The serifs are the little squiggles that join the characters together and make it easier for your eyes to read it
Google it - you will see what I mean.

Here is a wikipedia comment:
In typography, a sans-serif, sans serif, gothic, san serif or simply sans typeface is one that does not have the small projecting features called "serifs" at the end of strokes.[1] The term comes from the French word sans, meaning "without". Sans-serif fonts tend to have less line width variation than serif fonts.
In print, sans-serif fonts are used for headlines rather than for body text.[2] The conventional wisdom holds that serifs help guide the eye along the lines in large blocks of text.

When computers first came out - the simpler fonts without serifs became popular for computers because the computer screens did not have the resolution to display these tiny features accurately. But nowadays even a smartphone has a remarkable resolution.

I am not going to get into a huge debate on this. Have made my point and I still feel that a font with "Serifs" like Times New Roman is easier for the eye to read when there is lots of text. It is a personal preference thing, so if the members on the forum prefer this font we have now - then that's cool by me.

Here's an image that helps explain the above



Serif fonts are suggested for bodies of text and sans-serif fonts for headings.

If you look at most books and newspapers, you will see that they use a serif font for the text body.

Look at the font now silver?

Wow, @Gizmo

Serif font is back!

To my eye, this looks much, much better. Wow. Superb.

I think other members may have preferred the previous font because it was slightly larger in size.
But the font itself seems great to me.
