I was playing around a bit the font size of posts here. Right now we are using Roboto. I think things would be more legible with a hair more size. But I noticed something odd. There was something almost cartoonish about the font.

So then I though maybe serif is the way to go. I discovered Fangsong, which I kind of liked. It's sharp and clean. It maybe doesn't have perfect kerning.

So my next line of thought is let's see what others are using. Is serif even a good idea? Look at Reddit. It's got Roboto too just like we have, but I notice their font size is tiny. That's when I realize something. Roboto has a completely different character at different sizes. When small it's one of the cleanest fonts. At size it becomes comic-sans like. It really does. Just increase the font size here to see it.

I think the lower contrast here vs reddit's black on white lends itself to a larger font. But Roboto may not be the one when we increase it a little.

I've left some themes in the comments to make it easy to see what I mean. To make a comment a theme just click "Make theme." I'm open to opening a vote for the default font here and so I'm asking for nominations. I'll open a poll later.

Holy shit: The ability to test themes from CSS comments is actually good. I made that and then didn't play with it much after I made it. When it's time to make the poll this will be really easy for people to see the impact. To make a theme yourself just use ```css at the start of a comment.
