Tip for the one who created that font, display the font samples in an image or sample text immediately. All I care about is the looks. Did not immediately see where I could see an example so I just moved on to writing this feedback comment, and now I'm done with this post. Next!
- klodolph 12y agoYou literally have to scroll down to the "Samples" section to see font samples. Then you come in the comments to tell everyone how lazy you are.
- ctdonath 12y agoNo, you literally have to scroll down to the "below-the-fold" Samples section, read the terse description, and click in and out of several links to see samples. Point is: the very first thing anyone going to that page to see that font is going to want to see is that font. Most are going to expect the text of the page in that font, or at least a suitable sample first. As is, the text seen is in some non-standard (AFAIK) font which piques interest as the reader studies its subtleties, wondering how code would look in it ... then after a nontrivial time reading, discovered the links to samples, and is startled to see something completely different (and, IMHO, kinda "squashed"). A newspaper doesn't put the #1 headline on a page referenced below-the-fold.
- deneca 12y agoI see this issue a lot when people try to show off their projects. "Check out my new gui/platform/product/application/plugin - If you are interesting in seeing it visually, simply fork my repo, step through the install, and get it running locally."
