I don't know if I'm seeing the old version or the new version, but this is still very hard to read.
Advice to all web designers: Please do not use "font-weight: 300" for body text, ever. Simply changing that to 400 in the developer tools made it much more readable. The font was still bugging me, so I tried killing the "font-family: futura pt" too.
Wow! What a world of difference. Now it is super easy to read, instead of looking like it's trying to show off some design style.
Know your audience: you are addressing potential database developers with this book, not graphic designers.
- ifesdjeen 7y agoPreferring one font over the other is more a question of taste, but I think you're right about font-weight: it does read better with 400. Thanks for the tip!
- Stratoscope 7y agoAnd thank you for being so responsive to feedback! It's much easier to read now. I also want to apologize for my comment being a little grouchy; I should know better than to comment on style and readability in the wee hours. :-)
- ifesdjeen 7y agoSure thing! Appreciate that you've figured out what was wrong with that font, too.
