So, yeah, we should fix this mess. :P

Here's the current list of font options:

.dumbfonts {
  font: 1em Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, "Gill Sans", Arial;
  font: 500 15px/1.7 "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
  font: 500 30px Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
  font: bold 1.5em Georgia, serif;
  font-family: "Helvetic Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  font: .9em "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", 'Palatino', serif;
  font: 900 26px "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", "Palatino", serif;
  font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
  font: 600 .9em "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Arial;
}

@xtitter @peterasujan I want to fix this...

See this for reference, UCB Style Guide

I think we should pick 1-2 Sans Serif font sets, 1-2 serif sets, and 1 monospace set.

Sans Serif: Primary font A: Open Sans (Helvetica, then Arial as fallbacks.) I'm fond of Helvetica neue but I don't know, it's...just too popular right now. :P Primary font B: VAGRounded (Maybe..., but playful font for headings and things) This is for Dan.

Serif: No idea, I don't like serif fonts much.... :P The current ones aren't bad though, so maybe stick with those? A: Palantino B: Georiga

Monospaced: I think one option is sufficient... Source Code Pro is an excellent font, and free as well. Fallbacks: Monaco, Anadel Mono, courier

Anyone else care? :)

Baskerville ftw!

Not to self: Add

    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
    -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;

Finally did this, Open Sans looks a bit different but its nice. :)

Serif fonts are using Freight Text which is one of the Berkeley fonts and is similar to Baskerville (which is a fallback.)
