778951 - Mozilla Persona page difficult to read

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services :: Server: Identity, defect)

Description

[JR Conlin [:jrconlin,:jconlin]]

The BrowserID/Persona page is using Open Sans, which is difficult to read on older resolution displays: http://i.imgur.com/S7B0O.png

Can we demote Open Sans or use a font with a bit more weight to it?

JR, some of the font problems you note were addressed in the current build that is in stage at the moment. Could you have a look at https://login.anosrep.org and see how that looks to you now?

Much better. Closing as a dupe.

On Windows XP the problem is still there ==> http://users.gxware.org/mozillaitalia/images/personaloginnoopensa.png

There an open thread on Mozilla Italia Forum about this problem ==> http://forum.mozillaitalia.org/index.php?topic=56089.0

I've been able to mitigate the problem via manual install of Open Sans font on my system ==> http://users.gxware.org/mozillaitalia/images/personaloginyesopens.png

We have changed font-related things a few times in the last year. Is that still an issue?

I don't have an XP PC anymore so I cant't verify.
However, on Windows 7 64-bit, fonts look smoother on IE10 (http://i.imgur.com/Z0qzz1H.png) rather than on Firefox 26 beta (http://i.imgur.com/mnhQrTE.png). Or it is only my impression?

The persona service will be decommissioned later this year; I'm closing persona-related bugs as WONTFIX
