#180 Purge fedora wiki css of non-free fonts
Closed: Fixed None Opened 16 years ago by nim.

While discussing some fonts SIG stuff with one of the leading designers of a free font we depend on, it emerged our wiki css rules are full of references to non-free fonts we try hard to weane our users of.

Please fix the css so it only references free fonts or default w3c aliases

(21:16:12) eimai: why do you enforce arial on that wiki btw...
(21:16:28) eimai: I find that highly offensive to free font designers :-p

21:26:47) nim-nim: eimai: firebug says it should be Verdana too if you have it on your system
(21:27:08) eimai: yeah, I have verdana, but verdana is better hinted than that
(21:27:13) nim-nim: and are using a browser that works like mine
(21:27:58) nim-nim: eimai: don't feel bad for verdana
(21:29:28) eimai: what do you know, verdana does have bad hinting
(21:29:48) nim-nim: should have known a font designer would look at the fonts my text used instead of looking at the text itself ;)
21:30
(21:30:03) eimai: too bad we cannot fix it and release the result...
(21:31:14) nim-nim: did you even look at the second wiki page I posted ? :roll
(21:31:28) eimai: then again, the page should only say 'sans-serif' instead of supporting the MS fonts are coolz paradigm
(21:31:49) eimai: especially for a website of a free platform


The wiki CSS shouldn't refer to any free fonts anymore.

Normal text now uses:
{{{
font-family: "DejaVu Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif;
}}}

And for monospaced:
{{{
font-family: "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Liberation Mono", monospace;
}}}
