There is something incomplete feeling about just the default styling. If you're going for a brutalist design mentality then sure, go for it, but sometimes the appearance actually does matter
- thrdbndndn 5y agoI'm not against using font style; I'm against (or more like, failed to see the point) to manually craft a complex "system font stack" to achieve.. basically the same thing as sans-serif but worse.
- ljm 5y agoIf you're building a web app (say, via electron) as opposed to a site or document, using the system font stack will make that app fit into the desktop environment much better than Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New will.
- necovek 5y agoBut that's not what was being compared. How would electron apps render a "sans-serif" font?
- ljm 5y agoWhat is being compared? Because to me it read like a question of choosing 'sans-serif' over 'ui-system-font-sans' or whatever in your CSS. Nothing more than that.
- thrdbndndn 5y agoHe/she is trying to say what the default of "sans-serif" would be if not 'ui-system-font-sans'. And it indeed is the same font on Android and iOS, at least. Windows is kinda tricky though.
- necovek 5y ago"System font stack" — which I took to mean the longish list of commonly known default fonts for a bunch of OSes brought up earlier in the thread — with a CSS value of "sans-serif". There was no mention of direct use of Arial, Times New Roman or Courier that I could see, so I don't see why bring it up.
