Text hard to read on some OSes #7

Open skade opened 8 years ago

skade commented 8 years ago

We got a complain about hard to read fonts, especially the font color washing out.

This is a screenshot from Firefox, Linux.

Maybe adding some font weight helps.

This may be due to:

There's known font rendering issues with Helvetica Neue on some Linux Distributions.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=858002

We fall back to Open Sans, which renders quite great!

Maybe using San Francisco instead of Helvetica Neue? (which makes sure Linux falls back to Open Sans, which they all have installed in good quality)

Adding to that: the light grey in the background seems to be the GTK theme, which isn't overridden for some reason (is our background transparent and not white?).

GTK theme is fixed. How about the Open Sans situation?
