Now that we've all had a few months to live with the changes to the site fonts, I wanted to revisit the issue. How do you like the font setup in the wikia skin? Some people were initially resistant to a serif font for the main body font, and others didn't initially warm to all-caps section header fonts.
What do you think now of the overall typographic design of the site, now that we've been on this font scheme for a few months now? Do you think it looks better or worse than the default Wikia fonts seen on most other Wikia wikis? Are there things you'd change about it?

I don't notice it, which is my personal definition of a good font. Boblipton talk to me 20:52, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
- I still haven't really warmed to the all-caps section headers to be honest, I remain of the mind that all-caps online constitutes SHOUTING. I dig the rest of the design, though; the font is easy on the eyes, and the layout in general flows quite nicely. — Rob T Firefly - Δ∇ - 20:56, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
- I'm also in agreement with Rob T Firefly, the section headers, while I understand they're technically not actually in uppercase, they are. With the even quicker preview window you more quickly see the difference between plain text and what you get, and the headings are one of those jarring things.
- I also haven't really warmed to the purple/blue background to the edit box, it was one of the things I was happy wasn't working when we were having Firefox issues. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:13, October 12, 2011 (UTC)
- I actually don't min the section headers, but if they ae changed to show upper and lowercase then please keep them blue and fairly large, unlike once when they were black and you could barely tell the distinction between headers. Can I also ask that the navboxes at the bottom of pages be collapsable again? Glimmer721 talk to me 20:51, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
