[Bug 957243] New: The "system default" serif font is ugly (RobotoSlab). I move that FreeSerif be chosen instead.
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=957243 Bug ID: 957243 Summary: The "system default" serif font is ugly (RobotoSlab). I move that FreeSerif be chosen instead. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: All OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: antoine.mechelynck@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: Community User Blocker: --- In Leap 42.1, when I don't choose any specific font faces in either my browser's preferences or a page's CSS stylesheet, what I get as system-default serif font is RobotoSlab, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228221#c19 Now this is a slab-serif font, which is admittedly within the meaning of "serif" as defined by the CSS definitions at W3C, but it is certainly not what I think of when I write "font-family: serif" in a style sheet. FreeSerif, another font which is also installed, looks much more like what I think of as an "ideal serif font", and what is more, it positions its combining accents correctly over the letters they concern (see again the above-mentioned Mozilla bug). I move that the system default serif font in future Leap distributions be FreeSerif rather than RobotoSlab. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
