It might just be the Cherokee Co. Board of Ed e-goblins inflicting selective blindness upon me.

As far as I know, Hannah hasn't voted yet.

I think the font on Ubuntu is much easier on the eyes. I can understand why you'd be upset about the title text getting a non-standard look, though.

The Ubuntu font would be fine if you were reading Jux on a Commodore 64.

I think I might try specifying the a font (neither of the two above) strictly in the CSS, though. I'm debating it.

The results are now tied between people with vision and those without.

No, when I voted, I had vision.

Indeed, because you voted for one of the correct choices.

I tested this on my Wii last night. The middle one was the only one that was still clearly legible.

You say that as if it means something. You were looking at images. Jux itself renders fine in Opera on the Wii...better than the second picture, even.

Edit: And all are legible on my TV.

Point being that even though the viewing medium was blurred, the middle one was still legible, lending credit to the position that it works best. Small jaggy fonts or overbold fonts detract from the ease of readability and increase eyestrain, vs clean lines and smooth flow. This is a goal that all system fonts should strive for.

If I had a second choice, I'd probably pick OSX, but I have no doubt that Ubuntu is the easiest on the eyes.

Does that mean something to you now?
