OMG, so much Better.

Better fonts for the Web exist, are FREE and can be easily installed.

Was getting bugged by the small print and raggedy edge on screen fonts in Mastodont instance.

Silly me, forgot to configure my Font favourites in this newer browser install.

I have used for years and recommend two alternative Fonts. Both were developed specially for on-screen reading.

* Serif font, default is Times New Roman. BETTER alternative is Georgia.

* Sans-serif font, default Arial. REPLACE with Verdana.

Now, Why?

* Georgia font on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_(typeface)

Microsoft page for it, details: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/georgia

* Verdana is a better Arial. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdana
