What a weird thing to complain about.

Just override the font if you dislike it that much. That's the great thing about the interwebs, it's all just text, you can format it however you want.

Assuming you're using something based off chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/font-changer/obgkji...

Or Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/refont/




It's actually a smooth readable (but tall-and-skinny) font on my personal laptop, and a pixelated mess on my work laptop; I've never figured out why... Oh, huh, they're using a custom font: https://xeiaso.net/blog/iaso-fonts/ so that should actually be consistent. (After the weekend I'll poke at it on the other laptop and see what's up.)

What I'm getting at is that they might (unintentionally) be complaining about a rendering bug and not the actual font...


What browser?


google chrome in both cases.


Just for closure: back on the work machine and it looks fine. If I ever see the "pixelated" form again I'll get in touch (now that I know it's actually not supposed to look that way.)


What a neat reply I am going to use whenever valid criticism about he readability or accessibility of my websites arises.

"Just use an extension that changes the website bro!"
