Heh. Yes, it's true, Robin sucks at fonts as well. :-) I recognize
my disability, though. What fonts should I use? The only font
specification I've got in my custom css (I'm inheriting the fedora css)
is:
The fonts in Mike's mockup looks just fine.
font-family: impact,sans-serif;
Suggestions/patches cheerfully suggested.
Using "impact" is a sin :p
The website is intended for Fedora users (to install Feedora
applications or rate the Fedora applications they like) but that font is
*not* included in Fedora (it is part of MS Core Fonts), so the average
user of the application will not see it as you intended (I noticed
because doing graphics I have a lot of fonts installed on my system).
This is why is wise to not use fancy fonts in such cases, stay with the
basics,
fedoraproject.org uses "sans-serif" and does not look bad at all
(IMO).
