What do you folks think of the new font? Used to be Times New Roman, now it's "Georgia", which is supposedly a serif font designed specifically for screen readability. Be honest. This is your chance to get it changed back, or lock it in.

Thanks everybody! I'll change from Georgia back to TNR, hopefully tonight. I also like the sans-serif fonts, but I'm worried that if I make the whole site sans-serif it'll be a bit too boring, visually.

Okay, we're back to good ol' Times. Next time I make a change for the worse, please speak up BEFORE I ask about it. :-)

I, too, prefer the old font over this one. However, I much prefer sans serif fonts like in the "recent updates" box.

I prefer the old font. I find the present one ugly and less legible.

I like the old font better. It was easier to read.

I think New Century Schoolbook is a better sarif font for this than Georgia. That said, I thought Times New Roman did a nice job. Now poor TNR is out of a job, on the dole, collectin' unemployment, unable to support all 26 of his lower case letters.

I can't say that I care for the new font. I might like it better if it was a little bigger.

What font is in use in the Recent Updates box? Would it be possible to throw up some font examples and have us vote on some favorites?

I agree that it's a bit too small.
