Look Ma! Left And Right Justification!
Well, look it here. I've finally discovered the left and right justification buttons! Oh, it's getting good now. I can feel the blog coming alive. Now if I only had a paragraph's worth of stuff to write so you could see the vast improvement. I'm also experimenting with new fonts. This is Trebuchet. Never heard of this one, but I'm hoping it's a little easier to tell the difference between a "w" and two "v's." Any other thoughts?
No, I don't like Trebuchet. How about this one? Plain old Courier. And I'm wondering why they look so different on the blog than they do in the editing phase?

How about arial?
Trebuchet is fun to say though - kind of reminds me of those medieval seige machines...you know, the trebuchet? :)
Courier is ...well...courier. Definitely clear. Arial is nice. Times is also good. But whatever you were using was fine as far as I could see too - so maybe I'm just not font-sensitive. So...I guess it's just up to you to do what seems good, regardless of your justification.
(Yeah, ok, bad pun, but it had to be said.)
I'm fond of Georgia, the font.
captcha: jyorg
Weird.
How about arial?
I thought maybe the default that I've been using was Arial, but it seems like an elongated (vertically enhanced) version. I think Eric is right, the readability might be improved with a line height adjustment, but I don't see where I can do that with Blogger. I've only got 8 font choices also, but Georgia is one of them, so I gave that a whirl. I think jyorg must be the Georgian (Russian) spelling. ;-)
Eric, you used Trebuchet? You, the Master of Fonts? I've never noticed it in the list of standard MS fonts but I dislikes it. I mean, just look at that post. What kind of "v" merges with the apostrophe like that?! Completely unacceptable. But I vvill vvork vvith my captcha keeper...vve'vve had a fevv issues like this and she's really starting to annoy me. ;-)
See, like now...she's starting to get a little attitude: "likbs"
HAL? Should I know HAL?
Yes, I like my serifs. That was the main reason to search for a new font, and the reason I don't care so much for arial. I'll have to do a post with numbers in it to appreciate Georgia's full beauty.
Ah, that HAL! ;-) You think? You think he's responsible for the captchas? I would have expected much more from him. But maybe.
Oh, and thanks for sharing your font knowledge. We can all benefit from a little font sensitivity training now and then. ;-)
