If Lit supported that, I'd be thrilled. But despite the fact that most sites allow me to convert the text to my browser default, for some reason these forums refuse to cooperate. Even in their new interface, only their font shows up. I've tried a dozen different combinations in the settings, but nothing works.
I agree. He didn't, he did not have the capacity or tools to. But you also said he didn't try to beat them at their own game and he did. Physical revenge is only one way to go about it. As Sun Tzu put it, “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
Yeah. But he's dead, innhe?
The majority of times there are numerous ways to go about things. Had he had the tools to do so, he could have gone Punisher on them, killed the warden, the guard captain and guards that tormented him escaped to Mexico and lived a quiet life thereafter. That's one way. The other is the way he did it, by being patient, tweaking things so that when he did escape he would have the resources to live comfortably and get the law and karma to do the rest. Both serve the same purpose, in essence, do the same thing but are accomplished from different directions with different tools. It's all a matter of using what you have to accomplish what you want.
Laurel says it's up to y'all. She's good with it if there's enough interest from you. So I'll ask again, should we give it a go? This would be a challenge, not a contest, so I'm thinking of tying it in to the Valentine's Day contest where submissions could fit both. Unless you have a better idea?
For those who hate my font, sorry to hear that. I will try to remember to bump it up a size to try to compensate for whatever is happening on your ends. I'm simply not willing to give up my beloved serifs, however. I was (arguably) irrationally delighted when I realized we had the option to change the font, and seeing them in the mass of blocky, angular text that dominates the site is like seeing a flower growing out of a sidewalk to me.
Agreed. Even on my Mac, it's much better, much less my phone.
Omg this font is huge!
That seems like it could be a very polite and roundabout way of telling me to find other Cygni to type to instead.
You can be a swan with serifs. But you can't be a swan with a microscopic font. Swans go big.
Well, again, I don't know what's going on with that, as they render the same size as every other available font on my browser (although Verdana does seem slightly larger). I can see from the screenshots that other people have different experiences, but that's out of my control. I'm trying to be a good neighbor on this issue and compensate for whatever is going wrong with the scaling, which can't reasonably be blamed on the serifs themselves, although I expect soon enough someone will (genuinely) complain about my posts being too big.
