- BobbyH 16y agoHe applied this CSS rule to all elements on the page: "letter-spacing:-0.1em !important;". This is why the page looks so cramped. He also applied this to the body text: "font:140% 'Inconsolata', monospace;" I presume the site looks good in Inconsolata for those who have it installed. This site is a good reminder to check your site on another computer. Also, make common font choices, or at least default to something specific that looks good.
- jgalvez 16y agoMy bad. It uses @font-face to import that font. It does really look great in Inconsolata, IMHO. I just thought everyone around here would be on a browser that supports that already. But I'll consider making the CSS changes.
- misterbwong 16y agoUse something like the @FontFace generator from font squirrel: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator This will give you support for most browsers (though it will muck up your CSS a bit)
- jfb 16y agoIt still looks like crap, even with Inconsolata. EDIT: It's a good read, though, as noted above.
- jgalvez 16y agoJeez, okay, I'm convinced. I'll make those changes as soon as I can.
- AjithAntony 16y agoJust installed the font. Looks much better now, but blurry. Chrome 6.0.472.53 win7-x64
- danilocampos 16y agoHa, I came to the comments just to see if anyone else felt the same way. I just overrode letter-spacing in my browser's CSS debugger. Thanks for sharing that link.
- jgalvez 16y agoOkay, fixed that. Hope looks okay now.
- KevinMS 16y agoI guess I missed the uglyness, but otherwise its a good looking website.
