Not only that, but Basic Maths makes assumptions about the size of the rendered text which aren't universally true.
On my display, that means you get horrible artifacts like the words in the "Information Graphics" tag at the top overlapping each other.
That's not good design. That's ugly and non-functional. The same is true (in fact much more so) of Vinh's own homepage.
HN, for all its plainness, is much better designed.
- armandososa 16y agoAgreed. Most theme designers ignore the different scenarios under which their theme will be used. Most theme shops optimize their demo installations so it looks perfect, only to disappoint the buyer when it's installed.
- brehaut 16y agoIs that the theme designers fault, or the person deploying their theme?
- nervechannel 16y agoIn the case of Basic Maths, there's examples of it on the designer's own demo page, depending on your browser settings. Some people might say this is the user's fault for overriding the original font choices. I'd say not all fonts are pleasant to read on all machines (except Macs where they generally all come out nice), and expecting the user to stick with ugly aliased ones for the sake of your layout is unprofessional :-P
