gently caress. The Google fonts are insufferable in Firefox since FF doesn't anti-alias, and I have ClearType turned off on my computer since I dislike the way it looks.

Time to look into Greasemonkey scripting (or similar) for changing the font back. Anyone got a sample?

If you use Firefox / Opera and have anti-aliasing and cleartype disabled, you deserve a horrible internet experience

Well, it just changed as I reloaded this page, they are now anti-aliased (or different and look fine at least)!

Still weirdly big.

My display looks different than the Lowtax screen capture? It's still in English so I can read it, but it is not identical.

I was going to support this, but you mentioned Linux. Lost all interest.

It's an ok change. I do prefer the old font but then again I'm probably just being a fuddy duddy. Bold does seem to look objectively worse now though.

and the font sucks as well, even worse than Comic Sans (use Wingdings instead, if you troll then troll all the way :smugdog:

No wait sorry let me restate this in properly angry internet toughguy terms:

In fact I hate it so much I will doXXX you for it~ (I don't care everyone already knows your address, that just means I can doXXX you harder and faster~~~). In fact I will hire an internet hitman who is totally not a bored law enforcement agent about to lock me up with bitcoins (because you killed the buttcoin mock thread which was the only good thread in GBS 4.20 you see) to show you the error of your ways, you dirty dirty CIA agent conspirator reptilian (your fault for reopening Paranormal/Conspiracy if you didn't want to be found out) ~~~ :tinfoil:
