    Just wondering what font is used for the V2 board style? Fonts look crappy on my screen, but legible. Some are semi-bold, close together, etc. Default style font looks fine, but too wide for my liking. Using Firefox 47.0.1 on FreeBSD. Thought I had all the font issues worked out on this OS. Thx.

    I think it's Arial. I use V2. Here's a shot from my phone. If yours looks different than this, you might have some other problem. Screenshot_2016-07-31-16-47-12.png

    Thanks. The line/txt you typed above 'I think it's Arial. I use V2....' looks perfect and like Arial. Just all the other txt on the site with the V2 style is off a bit. Prob need to play around with the FreeBSD fonts some more.

    see if there is a "clear type" setting in that o/s you have. it is easy to find in "control panel", appearance and personalize settings, in windows o/s. your BSD i cannot help. but maybe they have such a setting, or a download?

    I have an 'anti-aliasing' (similar to clear-type I guess) setting which is disabled. If enabled, fonts become blurry in many places. It has no effect on the forums though enabled or disabled. Makes a diff in progs like Thunderbird though. Will have to dig around some more. Thx
