[opensuse-web] opensuse.org fonts
Today we switched our web-theme ('bento') to use the Lucida Sans [1] font with fallback to Arial and "DejaVu Sans". As I think we should aim to have the same font for all users/platforms I propose to switch our websites to use the droid [2] font. It's the same font that susestudio uses, has a free license and could be included in a way that the browser downloads it automatically if it's not available on the client system. What do you think?

Please check https://features.opensuse.org/ It's running with droid fonts now. Please give us some feedback on that and the font sizes, we should unify this for all opensuse pages with bento.

Domi is telling me the computed style of the sample text I looked at is generic sans-serif, though I have no idea whether it takes into account @font-face styles. At the tiny sizes used there I can't tell Droid from Arial or Liberation Sans. I looked and saw at least one place in current CSS where Droid is commented away. Meanwhile, most page text is smaller than UI text, too pale, and thus very hard to read without disabling page styles or applying multiple levels of zoom. Those not already familiar with it should see: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=646418 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
