OK, but not necessary as MacOS X is already using Helvetica Neue as Sans-Serif. and ========================================= http://www.identifont.com/find?similar=helvetica+neue&q=Go http://www.identifont.com/find?similar=Avenir&q=Go What do others think? ========================================= Sorry, Bob, it's pointless comparing the ideal text rendering of these fonts in the links you give. If they were rendering this way on JSmol in OS X and iOS 8 then of course one would go with Apple's choice. The point is that for some reason *Helvetica Neue* is not rendering in this way. If people want to see this they should look at the summary of my comparisons (all under Mac Safari) which I have posted on: http://motif.gla.ac.uk/JSmolTest/JSmolTestCheck.html which shows the screen-shots from a live JSmol implimentation changing the fonts in the core.z.js file. (As I already wrote, these differ from the rendering in a simple canvas mock-up.) However, on reflection, it is probably better for you to leave things as they are for the following reasons: 1. The majority of users are probably on Windows, as the chemistry and protein chemistry area seeems to be the last scientific redoubt of Windows. 2. I can fix it myself for my own site. As I am the author of my own site I want it to look the best in the browser I use, as long as nobody else is disadvantaged. 3. As a matter of principle it's not a good idea to mess with the default fonts of a platform. Changing to Avenir would be a hack. The real solution would be to find why this is happening and fix that, but that's difficult for me and clearly not worth the effort tor you. Perhaps it will be fixed in a later release of MacOS X, or perhaps I will be able to track down the cause by posting on StackOverflow. However... ...I have another question about JSmol since testing it on all sorts of platforms. On the iPad (and other tablet platforms) there is no such thing as hover or mouse-over. OK, one has to live with that for mouse-over an atom in the structure, but it breaks the JSmol menu. Any plans to address that?
