That is choosing one direction, which is "Don't specify a stack". It's a good-faith one. It would also make sense if we're (particularly the design and UX teams) not willing to put in the work to finalize a global stack. > The bits and pieces of design advice that I read tonight were unanimous in > recommending explicit & specific typography over browser defaults.

However, as you note here, specifying a stack is the clear trend. Taking that general trend (as well as the opinions of the design team here) into account, specifying a global Vector stack currently seems like the better direction. There is a proposal for such a stack at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Typography . I think the body one (essentially the stack in question at this bug) is close to being ready for the prime time. Ori presents a fair point (on IRC), that we should do a final review of the trade-offs, check our work, and make adjustments to the stack if needed. I will email the design list to point to this bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
