Re: (day four) - your opinion on the new design needed
I agree. Font should be Verdana/Arial/Helvetica/Sans Serif/etc. Why don't we just go for a nice code 39 or perhaps interleaved 2 of 5? Now that I think about it, internationalization is a big issue seeing as people from all over the world use the SxS. We really should use code 128.

Also sprach Douglas J Hunley on Thursday 04 April 2002 15:19: Today's changes include: 1. A new font (for those who have it installed) .Screenshot is attached for those without the font. Please comment on the new font. Only a suggestion: If you want a nice font for the items in the upper and left-hand frames which a bit outside from the usual Arial/Helvetica/Times/Tahoma line, try Comic Sans MS. I think it had been used as body text font in some SxS pages, I always loved it, and IMHO it goes well with the font which you used in the new SxS logo. It will even do nicely without the [ brackets ] ... BTW, if anyone minds that it's copyright MS$, the beloved Tahoma and Verdana seem to be as well. An altenative to try out would be Lucidux Sans, which I think is included in a standard XFree installation, and definitely not MS$. 2. forums page cleaned up. I like it a lot better then the previous 'placeholder' page. thanks for mentioning it Klaus. i probably would have forgotten to re-write it otherwise. I like it much better now. It seems to be in the same style as the sample content under 'world wide web'.
