- The font face and size make posts too hard to read (and also, I'm now discovering, to compose).
- The current font face is vertically "squashed"; this is not the Arial or similar that we used to have. This face is harder to read, especially when combined with:
- The body text size is too small compared to other text on the page. If I zoom to get a readable body size, question titles both on the question and on the question page become huge, making the question list hard to use. If I make the question list legible (default 100%), individual questions are too small to read. One level of zoom is, for me, enough to fix the question page -- but also enough to break the question list.
- Also, on a question page, the links in the right column -- which are by their nature secondary -- are *bigger than* (or maybe the same size as; can't tell) the body text. The body text is the most important thing on the page. It should be set right, and everything else should scale based on that.
- While most of the new design is a great improvement, the single most important function -- reading (and posting) questions and answers -- is, to me, an accessibility and usability *downgrade*. Fortunately, it should be easy to fix -- restore the original face and bump the body text up by 2px -- or everything else down and I'll zoom, so long as the zoom doesn't break responsiveness like it did yesterday. It'll be easier to change the one value, I think.
