| newz2000 | hi SiDi | 20:16 |
| SiDi | Hello newz2000 | 20:17 |
| SiDi | about the question you asked on the mailing list, concerning fonts | 20:17 |
| SiDi | i'd personally avoid using serif fonts on a screen | 20:17 |
| SiDi | i feel sans-serif fonts are less tiresome for the eye, even if they're usually less "stylish" than the serif ones | 20:17 |
| newz2000 | I don't have a strong opinion | 20:20 |
| newz2000 | ubuntu is more of a high-tech product and sans-serifs fit a bit better I think. | 20:20 |
| SiDi | well, we also have quite a cool titling font :) | 20:25 |
| newz2000 | no we don't | 20:25 |
| newz2000 | we have a titling font that should never be used | 20:26 |
| SiDi | what do you mean ? | 20:26 |
| newz2000 | I mean that the ubuntu title font is in the same category as comic sans. I'm sure it's good for something but I have no clue what. | 20:27 |
| newz2000 | to be fair, it has improved greatly in the last three years, but it is still practically useless for doing anything other than spelling "UBUNTU" | 20:27 |
| thorwil | not even that | 20:29 |
| thorwil | if you spell ubuntu with it, it looks wrong | 20:30 |
| SiDi | heya thorwil :) | 20:30 |
| thorwil | the original ubuntu letters have the feel of a traced drawing. the titling font tried to make everything more geometric | 20:31 |
| thorwil | i spent most of this day trying to mimic the New York Post font ... only simplified | 20:32 |
| thorwil | to give the fridge a title with strong newspaper association | 20:32 |
| thorwil | (old english is used on several newspapers) | 20:33 |
| thorwil | one last thing regarding fonts: http://vodpod.com/watch/892584-college-humor’s-“font-conference” | 21:03 |
| thorwil | good night! | 21:03 |
| newz2000 | good night | 21:03 |
| SiDi | Good bye | 21:20 |
