542508 - getfirebug.com unreadable, remove Droid Sans

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites Graveyard :: getfirebug.com, defect)

Description

[Rob Campbell [:rc] (:robcee)]

the new design looks pretty bad without anti-aliased text enabled. We should try something different for headings and body text. One suggestion was Museo Sans for headers and helvetica, arial for body.

The first and quickest fix is just to remove DroidSans. That way the site is at least legible.

Any progress on this bug? At minimum we can just delete word "DroidSans" on the site and it will be readable. If a fix is not possible we should roll back so we have a usable site.

John, does the body font used on this page look any better to you?

Yes, as does http://mozillalabs.com/ but not http://blog.seanmartell.com/2010/01/27/mozilla-labs-website-refresh/, also a page with DroidSans

Switched body text to the same font as the Labs site (trebuchet ms).

Comment 6

still some instances of droidsans on the page. Should probably switch them to trillium maps.

fixed.

Just this morning we noticed that the font TitilliumMaps is not good either. It marginally ok because it is used on things with large point size, but it makes the site look less professional.

less professional... than it was before?

Do you have a font you'd prefer?
