| May 15, 2021 at 21:32 | comment | added | Gwyneth Llewelyn | While I personally like the Mac system font ( Mac user here) — actually, I don't dislike Segoe UI either — and therefore disagree with your first premise, nevertheless I voted you up since a) I can say that what you guys get on Linux is not a good choice (too distracting, to say the least), b) I quite appreciated your thorough analysis, and c) like you, I completely missed the change announcement as well... | |

| May 11, 2021 at 18:29 | comment | added | John Omielan | @T.J.Crowder I'm 58 years old. During the past few years, I've spent quite a few hours each day on various SE sites, especially Math SE. This was usually never a problem before for my eyes, but with this change I've had eye strain trying to read the text, especially on certain sites like the Math one (it's worse on this site too, but not as bad). The text is somewhat smaller and thinner, which makes it harder for me to read. I'll likely get used to this, or make some adjustments to make it easier for me, but I agree with your various points, especially about providing options to users. | |
