Now almost everything is twice as large, bold and a really ugly font..
I disabled caching completely and did a full reload.
Reverted the size increase.... people were complaining that it was too small, now it's too big. Nobody is ever happy.

I don't notice much difference on my side it seems. What is the default font now? (It used to be verdana)

It's Fira Sans.

I probably don't have Fira Sans installed by default on my copy of Windows 7.

You wouldn't need it installed, the @font-face declarations in the CSS would tell your browser where to get the font files to use.

I assume that this allows you to get the font from an external server, right, not just Omni's? (to avoid copyright problems)

@font-face doesn't allow for external loading. Fira Sans happens to be under the SIL Open Font License, so all is good.

Ah ok. Oh well, at least if the font is under that license then it's fine anyway :)

Will the new Omni site use Comic Sans? It's so wow. :trollface:
