Use a modern font stack inspired by Bootstrap 4 #167

Closed Calinou closed 5 years ago

Calinou commented 5 years ago

Modern OSes ship with high-quality fonts that can be used out of the box with a simple change. It tends to be slightly more consistent across platforms too, even though it's still not perfect (especially on the Linux side of things).

See https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/19098 for more information.

Would be nice to have some "before" screenshots to compare :smiley:

"Before" screenshots

Chromium 70 on Fedora 29 (with Microsoft fonts installed, so it uses Arial just like on Windows):

Edge 17 on Windows 10:

Safari 11.1 on macOS 10.13:

The difference on macOS is subtle at first, but San Francisco (the new font) tends to look better than Helvetica Neue.

Ok, the fonts look somewhat better on the "after" screenshots (at least for Win10 and MacOS, not sure about Linux). Merging!
