Monospaced fonts are the best fonts!
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

The second page of this gave me hope, the third let me down . On the brightside, it wasn't comic sans :>.

text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;

As for the alias and TrueType with chrome there are a million gazzilion ways to battle how chrome renders fonts.
Generally about Helvetica though I do agree.

god it's awful

execute and it adds a span to every individual character. Then you have to apply CSS to each character, individually, you want to modify. It's not even per general character, allowing you to set kerning for the letter "e" globally, but rather for each individual goddamn unique character.

Browser sniffing. Ick.

We need to get the W3C working on something like a "@media all and (font-looks:shitty)" query so that we can serve nice fonts to browsers that can handle them.

Or Chrome can just like sort out their font rendering engine... it's seriously bad that the only browser that can't display google fonts well is chrome. And this has been known for a long while.

I actually had to uninstall Helvetica just because so many sites used it inappropriately and it looked like trash.

Helvetica.

The font.

The font.

The real font.

It should be supported anywhere. With best hinting.

Helvetica renders the actual, the pure glyphs.

It was a response to the guy saying he used verdana on his site.
The company I used to work for was an elearning company and we also used verdana everywhere.
It's a good font for reading on the web, but it's not good looking at all.
Right now I'm having a small crush on open sans.

I do not understand this discussion at all. My ability to tell the different between Arial, Helvitica and Times New Roman (Which I use for word documents) is non-existent.


Helvetica and Arial are sans-serif typefaces whereas Times New Roman is a Serif Typeface: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2013/03/serif-vs-sans-the-final-battle/. If you view the typefaces at 12pt or larger the difference should become clearer.

Salle, is there a big focus on TL being able to work without javascript?

+ Was the elearning company that you worked for a big fan of moodle by any chance?
