and hackernews' font has the worst pi :/
- mellosouls 1y agoYeah I noticed that too, and had to comment (now deleted) to test it was the website here, and not the original copied and pasted text.
- creata 1y agoThe font stack is just "Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" so either one of those or a system font is the culprit.
- nathell 1y agoIt’s Verdana. Fun fact: the article uses U+03C0 GREEK SMALL LETTER PI (π), but Unicode also has several pi codepoints meant to be used specifically for math. E.g., U+1D6D1 MATHEMATICAL BOLD SMALL PI (let’s see whether HN strips it: [edit: it does, see [0]]).
