okay, I researched this a bit. But KaTeX comes with a sans-serif font that can be activated using using The result… is not great. If it uses sans-serif fonts it's okay, but looks a bit out of place. And then it still uses serifs for some parts. It even displays the same symbols differently sometimes, which is super confusing. Examples Pings |

@elbotho After some investigation all cases of serif fonts are content problems: Your example on the left is using serif fonts explicitly in the latex code (huch?), and the on the page with logarithms, some formulas are not correctly inserted (not using math environment), somehow causing the frontend converter to ignore them (only happen in legacy content). @kathongi Thank you for the feedback, I do agree that it looks more modern and more like school book style. So in summary, I would merge the PR into staging. |
@Entkenntnis nice, thanks for investigating 👍 (In general im not against merging this :) Forced serifs: What code is used to archive that, could we re |
@elbotho As long as an article is not converted (see https://are-we-edtr-io-yet.serlo.org/), we can assume that project convo will work through these cases. Otherwise, if we encouter such code in converted content, I would probably talk with the authors. Its mostly not necessary to write such code |
