The default font for the forum has changed, it's Source Sans Pro now, a way better font created by Adobe that comes with Source Code Sans Pro, a fixed-width font that looks pretty good with code but that I don't use since I use DejaVu Sans instead (I prefer proportional fonts for code).

I want to congratulate the person at ROBLOX who got the great idea to get rid of the old and ugly Arial font (I don't know why that font is still used everywhere). It's a great change.

I have to say I also like the new font, except in some areas, but most is fine.

It's good, but I'd prefer it if it were a bit larger.

I personally like it better than the old one, it only took me 30 minutes to adjust.

They don't use the fonts correctly; it looks completely weird in places, I'm sorry to say.

It looks fine in chrome, but I usually use IE and it looks just terrible.

Fonts that are antialiased MUST be above 14px. If it's not it looks bad.

>>>>using IE
>>>((2013 - 128) / 2 + 64) * 2

Though, seriously, why do you use IE? In my personal experience, it's slow on startup, and not much faster afterwards.

@Oysi The top 5 are opera, chrome, firefox, safari and IE. IE is at the bottom of the top 5 in every category other than 'microsoft favorites' and number of unsuspecting users.

Although I am a Chrome user, IE has become much much better recently. However, I still hate it's lack of support as compared to Chome, Firefox and other browsers.

Why did you call me a sheep even when I gave my reasons for not preferring it?

It's plainly my experience that tells me that Chrome is better suited for me. While my computer is all around slow, which makes judging which runs faster a little difficult. They seem to be about the same speed, except IE takes longer to start up, which is really annoying.

Also, I prefer Chrome's user interface, and development tools, spell check, wealth of useful extensions, and a large population of users who will use and review those extensions. (Ever heard of "iegallery"? Neither had I.)

Chrome is preferable for me, and I don't mind the botnet.

If you don't like the font in chrome you can actually change it.Or atleast, I can....

Yay for Oysi

I know right, people keep hating on every single one of Microsoft's products, it's so annoying

I prefer Chrome to IE but only because of the extensions. IE and Chrome seem to perform nearly identical. IE may be a nightmare for web developers but for the user it works fine, so please stop hating on it so much.

Kill Safari instead plz . ty.

Why is the immediate assumption that I'm hating on IE?

Is it because I like Chrome better? I'm indifferent to IE; IE hasn't personally harmed me; IE is reliable like any other popular browser.

Why is it perceived as hate? I don't hate anything, as far as I can remember right now.

All the good stuff in IE is in Win8

I don't want to buy Win8 when I have WinXP working just fine

Therefore, IE sucks (for me)

IE takes around 10 seconds to 15 seconds to start. While chrome is about 1.5 seconds to. 3 seconds, depending on computer use,etc

Zars, you win!

As for IE I web develop a lot, tumblr themes is where I started and it's such a pain. I don't understand why they won't be the same as everything else. Chrome is faster, however IE isn't far behind anymore. Chrome has a brilliant and expansive range of extensions that you don't find with IE.

I would always rank Chrome above IE because being a web developer I find it's tools much more useful.

I prefer firefox over chrome. Chrome has preset limitations, to keep you safe, and they don't let you turn them off. Like if I want to share my extension, I MUST pay 5 dollars, since they don't allow to host extensions on other pages than store. Well only way to share them for free, is to give unpacked extension and load it as developer. Also I like firefox SDK much better, it has really nice API.

For me firefox has always felt more proffesional, while chrome is for more average people. Basically like iPhone.
