- mulmen 10y agoWhy is it "very right" for the government to use a platform-independent font instead of a font that loads quickly and provides users with access to relevant information quickly?
- DaiPlusPlus 10y agoOr just `font-family: sans-serif;` in CSS.
- mattnewton 10y agoI disagree entirely. Government sites should be snappy and accessible to all above all else. Unnecessary font downloads give people with poor internet connections a worse experience for questionable utility.
- thaumasiotes 10y ago> Government sites should be snappy and accessible to all above all else Which is a bigger accessibility failure? - the page takes longer to download - You can't see any text on the page
- Nadya 10y agoBoth. - The font needs to download - The font might not download at all Browsers support these wonderful two defaults called `sans-serif` and `serif` that will use a default, system-installed, user-controllable font that doesn't need to be downloaded and will be guaranteed to work for any user! { font-family: sans-serif; serif; }
- recursive 10y agoYou don't even need to use css at all to make text visible on a page.
