Palatino
I discovered the joy of seeing my words printed in Palatino, so I jumped on changing WikiCover’s base font, as well as the typeface of my journal. Deep in the dreaming distance, something about the lettering was excellent - like of old, but still readable and modern. Each word kerns better, grouped by itself, with great flowing serifs. That is what I see in it. So much better than sans-serif like Arial or even Verdana, which has more character than Arial. And for me, more readable than thick Georgia, which I admire, but is not as good for me in my environment. I’ve tried to make the fall-back work: Palatino,Georgia,Serif - and it works on the machines I tested. But I have to live with my site the most, and I like it to read well. Who knows, maybe others will follow with the technologies I have chosen, and see the lettering as excellent as I do now.
I feel like I am laying down words that form knowledge with Palatino. To see the top curve of the capital P not quite touch the pillar, to see the lower case t curve up at the bottom, these are joys.
