WWSympa: Predefined fonts are hard to read comfortably #1305

@ikedas

Description

@ikedas

Version

6.2 to current.

Installation method

Source and almost all binary packages.

Expected behavior

The text on the web interface should be easily read.

Actual behavior

Due to ugly rendering or inappropriate use of the fonts, it is often difficult to read text comfortably on a web interface.

Note that this is not the case for languages that specify their own fonts (ja, ko, zh-CN & zh-TW).

Additional information

Below is a sample and comments by the reporter.

  • The text in the body is difficult to read:
    • Digits are ornate and sometimes illegible.
    • The text is faint on devices with relatively low resolution.
    • In any case, this typeface seems suitable for headlines, but not for body text.
  • The monospace font is not properly selected:
    • Rendering is messy (See the texts "sympa.pl" and so on).
    • Also, it doesn't have appropriate weight, i.e. it's too bold (In fact, the style sheet specifies that it should always be bold.).
