On the font issue: you're effectively saying "I don't like the default monospace font my browser is configured to use, please change your website to fix this" (since Nimbus Mono isn't in their CSS font family list). I feel you as a user have some responsibility in that case.
- cabalamat 10y ago> you're effectively saying "I don't like the default monospace font my browser is configured to use, please change your website to fix this" No, that's not true. I have just changed the monospace font on Firefox to Ubuntu Mono, and it is still showing as Nimbus Mono. This is the website doing this -- for example the change is reflected fine in HN. > I feel you as a user have some responsibility in that case. These days when I build websites I normally specify specific web fonts so that I know it won't default to something not good.
- kelnage 10y agoThe website's CSS uses the following fonts for code blocks: > "Inconsolata", "Source Code Pro", "Consolas", "Monaco", "Courier", monospace So either it is using one of those fonts (Courier and Nimbus Mono L are similar I guess), the site is serving you special CSS that I'm not getting (and I've tested it on Linux and Windows), or Firefox has done some weird font aliasing and one of the above is being treated as Nimbus Mono L.
- cabalamat 10y agoI've checked and it's picking up the "Courier" from the CSS. (I tried removing Courier and it displayed the text in something nice-looking which Firefox reports is DejaVu Sans Mono)
