[20:14] <SiDi> Hi
[20:16] <newz2000> hi SiDi
[20:17] <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
[20:20] <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.
[20:25] <SiDi> well, we also have quite a cool titling font :)
[20:25] <newz2000> no we don't
[20:26] <newz2000> we have a titling font that should never be used
[20:26] <SiDi> what do you mean ?
[20:27] <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"
[20:29] <thorwil> not even that
[20:30] <thorwil> if you spell ubuntu with it, it looks wrong
[20:30] <SiDi> heya thorwil :)
[20:31] <thorwil> the original ubuntu letters have the feel of a traced drawing. the titling font tried to make everything more geometric
[20:32] <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
[20:33] <thorwil> (old english is used on several newspapers)
[21:03] <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
[21:20] <SiDi> Good bye
