Fonts used on the SimSig website 29/01/2021 at 12:51 #136875

This afternoon I suddenly found that the SimSig website had changed its appearance after I installed the font Open Sans on my work laptop which runs Windows, and this made text look clearer on the laptop screen which is scaled to 125%.

I found in the stylesheet that the website uses Open Sans as font, with Helvetica, Arial or any sans-serif font as fallback. In my case it fell back to Arial as I didn't have Helvetica installed either, and apparently Arial being an older font doesn't look as nicely on a high-DPI screen.

I would suggest adding an @font-face rule to the stylesheet to let browsers download the font if it is missing. This would make the appearance of the website consistent across different devices which may or may not have Open Sans installed, given high-DPI screens are becoming commonplace.
