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.

Shown on screnshot of Waterfox / Firefox control panel.

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

Verdana on MS Fonts: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/verdana

The image is worth a thousand words.

Have you seen the image of Rocky Balboa's body (he of Rocky movies fame) with a POTUS face photoshopped into it?

I am all for adding images in posts, but refuse to inflict that on you here.

Seen yesterday, and now a thread discussing it said and linked to potus twitter account - he's posted it. thousands of likes and retweets.

Unbelievable Times we live in.

Posting original Rocky image instead.

Part of my logic goes to a recent discussion we are having, now moved to QOTO's Discourse Forums site. https://discourse.qoto.org/t/nov-2019-site-issues-discussions-non-english-and-foreign-script-posts/102

QOTO is primarily English language, and posts in foreign languages strain the moderation team, who might not speak them.

I fully understand the Fun of practicing our native languages, or practicing a new one you are just learning, but an instance located in a country where the language is currently spoken will have a lot more content, and friendly users to chat to.

Like it shows, on this snapshot -- a Brazilian user defining Fediverse:

"It's a Twitter without Nazis, and apparently I would have a beer with everyone." 😉 🍻

@ovelha

Found a site that could help people speaking different languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French, etc) locate an instance that has users and posts in their language.

Could be handy!

https://instances.social/list#lang=pt,es&allowed=&prohibited=&users=

There are Brazilian and Portuguese speaking system admins posting helpful tips in portuguese - a nice resource. See #mastodicas
