Ah, erm... *interesting* choice of design choices on ang.wikipedia.org. :) Of course, design by committee (and a fortiori by community) doesn't really work. Would it not be possible for at least a style guide to be agreed upon? A couple of good fonts to be licensed? A showcase wiki to be set up? Another annoying aspect of the lack of good graphic design / typography, I think, is that the presentation side of things is being taken care of by third parties (I like http://sophiestication.com/articles/ipad.html, http://www.wikiwebapp.com/ was in the news this week) -- and that they''re not at all interested in the editing/adding content side of Wikipedia.
