alt Hacker NewsWhile we're wishing, let's bring back serifs. I, for one, would like to be able to tell the difference between AI and Al without context clues, and using an inherently lossy font is the opposite of "readability".

Agreed. I'm very glad Hacker News uses a typeface with serifs on 'I's, 'l's, and '1's. "Sans serif" can be descriptive, rather than prescriptive.

When I saw yet another crooked google font I configured my browser to display all text in Verdana ignoring fonts chosen by page styles. It's much easier to read when everything is in one font to rule them all.

This Al fellow seems to have gotten up to all sorts of trouble! Probably because he keeps hallucinating.

You are not alone.
I got criticism on my blog for using a serif font but those people are just … wrong. Serif fonts are just better for reading at all font sizes.
