Yes! As an older reader, I tend to assume that any web site using Verdana doesn't want me as a visitor. I know I can make the text bigger, but why should I? > >> I'd suggest to use a sans-serif for the menu, and a serif for the >> content, because serif is easier to read when there is lots of text > > this is not necessarily true on screens. Web typography is not paper > typography. OTOH, serif for web headings and sans for body text is OK and if done well gives a professional effect without sacrificing readability. (But not Georgia!) Although I find as screen resolutions improve, serif body text bothers me less than it used to -- but there are still a lot of low res screens around, so it is probably better to stay with sans body text until the next refresh in 2018! > >>A fixed width, centered text area could be more readable for bigger >> screens. > > As I wrote, I dislike fixed width design. Yes and they tend to break if the reader makes the text smaller or bigger. I note that on geany,org the width scales along with the font size, as it should.
