Great read. Among other things it made me dig deep into the heart of my Vista machine and find whatever font was making your site (and others) utterly unreadable. The answer is shitty Palatino fonts installed by HP, presumably as part of a printer driver.
So there you go, if Steve's site makes your eyes bleed then go and kill the HP Palatino fonts on your machine.
- stevelosh 16y agoHmm, perhaps I should change the font stack. Is your shitty HP font named "Palatino" or "Palatino Linotype"? If it's "Palatino" I'll need to insert a Windows-only font at the front of the list. If it's "Palatino Linotype" I'll need to insert a Windows-only font as the second element in the list.
- julianz 16y agoHi Steve - it's "Palatino". I also have "Palatino Linotype" and it looks fine now that I've knocked off Palatino. It's a problem I've come across previously on Windows, I think Sun's Java was also installing some horrible version of Palatino a while back. Pity, as it's a wonderful typeface and looks nice on your site.
