Hahaahahahahaha gtfo of here if reading gbs physically hurts you gahahahahaga I disabled CSS on the forums with an addon so it doesn't affect me but yes antialiased text is known for giving a large portion of people migraines, headaches, shifting eyes/pupils, and other issues which is why nobody uses ClearType except for people who had their eyes replaced with literal balls of poop

I think the last font everyone complained about was better than the new font everyone is complaining about, but that's just my opinion

Lowtax posted:I dig Open Sans too, but everybody complained it was too vertical. Less people complained when I shifted to Roboto. Do you have insurance though? If I pour bleach into my eyes and go blind, I could say it's because I spend 23hrs of each day looking at the forums. I do prefer Open Sans though.

Can you just like phone me up and read me all the posts so I dont have to use my eyes at all? Thanks. Actually when I go back and read that anti aliasing article my right eye stops kind of hurting randomly. Is there some sort of lovely plugin I can get to make the forums whatever godawful font that uses so my grandpa eyes dont hurt thanks.

Meh, whatever, it's annoying to read. This is the old font that I have no issues with.  It's clear, it's not overly anti-aliased, and the letters are actually the same size and rendered the same way. This is the new font  There are four l's in there and all of them are rendered differently, most of the letters are rendered differently even if they are the same letter. There is anti-aliasing everywhere on places that doesn't seem to make any sense, sometimes the anti aliasing is on the left side of the character and sometimes it's on the right. The "u" in "full" has anti aliasing in the middle, but no other letter seem to follow that pattern. Some characters are two pixels wide and others are only one. There are no consistency at all.
