Better font plzyes! #200

Open michaelplzno opened 1 year ago

michaelplzno commented 1 year ago

this can be the font, its what github uses and it looks a lot nicer than what we have:

-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Noto Sans,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,Apple Color Emoji,Segoe UI Emoji;

The primary GitHub font is Segoe UI, I believe. And Microsoft is grumpy that they don't allow using it on websites for free. It is technically possible to add it, but who knows if they'll find us (you, precisely 😁) and make a lawsuit for $99999999999: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/3184/segoe-ui-font-licensing#10989

Speaking of Noto Sans vs. Inter, do you really think it's worth the changing? Because from my n00b position they look almost identical to each other, so you were most likely thinking of Segoe UI.

Plzyes tell me which one is better 😁

this is what the silverware games site uses: "Roboto", "proxima-nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif,

but I checked in the inspector and github is using BlinkMacSystemFont on my machine and I like that one.

I don't like Noto or Inter and yes they are extremely similar.

Either use Roboto or proxima-nova assuming the license for either one is acceptable.

mesosoi commented 1 year ago

It seems to be BlinkMacSystemFont is not a font per se, but rather a some fancy font-related thing created by Apple. You know, these guys are crazy when it comes to design: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32660790

So let's use Roboto then, as Proxima Nova seems to be owned by Adobe, and they won't even let me copy a link for it without signing up (and, possibly, asking for money $$$).

Sounds good.

Can you mark this as ESSENTIAL FOR NEXT PUBLIC UPDATE?
