What's with you and Sans-Serif?

The new style sheet has sans-serif for the menus (Verdana) but Georgia/serif for the main text. I like serif better, though sans-serif is nice and crisp for the nav menus.

And if the comment was supposed to mean "I suggest you use sans-serif," then too bad.

I like Georgia very much, and it's better for reading comprehension: "However, significant differences were found for reading times of the fonts with the serif fonts producing quicker reading times. The experimenters found that the participants perceived a difference in legibility between the fonts of which Times New Roman, Verdana and Georgia were most legible." So say they here, anyway: http://psychology.wichita.edu/surl/usab ... K_font.htm. And I'm sure quicker reading times will send our number of applicants skyrocketing!

Commodore, the fact that you are researching this sort of thing scares me quite a bit.

But yeah, Verdana rocks.

I prefer Aurekbesh (or Engli-besh if I'm not the only one reading it) and EPISODE I

Jeez, Commodore, I knew you were out to get Colonel Fel, but really... even I understood he was speaking of the font, not the movie.

Jag: Yeah, Aurebesh rocks, too. It's the Verdana of Star Wars.
