If we’re throwing typographical terms about, I’d maybe play with increasing the kerning a touch, if that’s possible.
Ah typographic terms eh? I think you mean tracking not kerning.
Don''t really care about the Font. The forum seems better, quotes and pics seem to work better again, so personally i'm happy. The font... get a grip guys, who cares.
stick.
Helvetica, Courier, Arial, Verdana, CMU and open dyslexic are all fonts which are recommended for people with dyslexia. Might be nice if this could be considered for the new design.

Yes eddie you are correct, as I said I'm no expert (only spent six months as a print sub-editor almost 20 years ago).
I just checked on my android mobile, and there, everything is bright, clear and nicely laid out. I like it! However, on my desktop, running chrome, the posts look good, and I like the font that I'm currently replying with, but the list of thread titles is way to faint.
weeksy

I care. A correct body copy font increases legibility, enhancing the reading experience and making the forum a better place to engage with. There have been tests and research and everything...
Stick although it should be darker please. Also links should be in a stronger blue as they are hard to spot at the moment.
Also the 'you must be logged in to post' message should have a link to log in in it, innit?!
Overall I like the update! Viewing in chrome on an android phone.

Same here, stopped using it as home as it's just an unpleasant experience.
Stick.
Can I throw this into the suggestions box…
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
I find that body copy "usually" looks to be spaced more correctly without it, but with the font in use here, it seems to help a bit (in some browsers)… suck it and see…
struggling with it. Its really hard to read.
Its ok to type replies through. Can we have the same font as the reply box?
I'm with Andybrad on this. Horrible font to read.
The fonts used inside threads is OK, but the pale blue one for the forum index is incredibly hard to focus on.
Replace please, with something darker and an increase in size.

It's great if you're just looking for Closed threads - they stand out nicely in black. Any logic would say this should be the other way round: Closed threads "greyed out", open thread nice n bold. But naah, probably just me (again).

It is, and it is.
yup swiftkey gives random words on my phone.
Stick
kill it with fire.
Yeah it's a crap font.
It's knocked years off my age, I can read it without glasses.
Yeugh.

ooh - Body copy has just changed to Open Sans. Much more readable, if a little less distinctive.
