Bottom of the World - 164/365
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to. The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.

Don’t Want No Bent Font

I’m going to change the font.

Or change the size of the font.

I don’t like this font size. It’s too big. Too chunky. Of course, by the time you read this – you who exist in the far, far future – I might have already changed the font, and you may be thinking “What’s wrong with this font? I like this font.” Or more probably: “This font is too small. I wish he’d use a bigger, chunkier font.”

Yeah, I want a smaller font. A font that says: I’ve got a lot to say and I don’t want you to have to scroll in order for you to read it. That is how gravely important my posts are – so important, that to scroll is to disrespect them.

But still, I am gripped with fear. FEAR. What if I choose a font that’s too small? What if I choose a font that gives people headaches? What if I choose a font that is so irritating that people don’t get headaches because they don’t spend more than 1.5 seconds looking at it before they zap over to an easier-on-the-eyes site with pictures of girls or kittycats. Or kittycats dressed up as girls.

Yeah. A smaller font. I’m going to do it. Maybe I’ll just start with the sidebar over there. Just do a smaller sidebar font for starters.And then proceed from there.

But then serif? Or sans-serif? I’m thinking serif is easier to read, right, if the font is small? Is that right? Maybe it’s the other way round.

Damn. These are dangerous times.
