Yeah, that new footer ad is a bit of a shocker. If it says, please, PLEASE don’t accept any animated ads. Newshutch is an environment purely for reading information - anything moving in a user’s peripheral vision would render the entire thing unfit for purpose.

Just to let you know that I really hate the ad at the bottom of the browser. I understand that you have to cover your costs and make money, but you won’t do that if you alienate your current user base.

Best,

Neil

Hi Nathan,
Sorry to insist, but I see no change in the fonts.
So either you didn’t change the css or my firefox installation is “compromised” in which case I’ll start worrying

Hmmm the font still appears too small. Did you revert the change Nathan?

I just started using Newshutch yesterday, and it works like a breeze. But I had problems with a few feeds that I could not add, but which works OK at my blogspot site.

This one: http://www.fritanke.no/RSS/ seems to have a problem with the formatting, but it gets through at blogspot even though the Norwegian characters (��) aren’t shown correctly. (That’s not a problem)

Also had the same problem witht his one, which is a search at digg.com

(”newshutch” represents a random keyword)

Thanks for the update.

The font looks really good, i am for keeping it.

The rename feed option is a nice addition as well.

Hey Tim, try clearing your browser’s cache, you might have an cached CSS file mucking things up.

for what its worth, “Corbel” looks great on a 19″ lcd monitor.

by: Nathan

I did add “Corbel” before the other specified fonts. It’s one of the new fonts in Windows Vista and the most recent MS Office. Unfortunately the new Vista fonts render just a bit smaller than other fonts, so 13px Verdana or Trebuchet does NOT equal 13px Corbel or Calibri.

This is a shame, the new Vista fonts are really nice but just that small rendering difference can apparently make text unreadable on high resolution but small area screens like those on laptops. Microsoft: snatching user interface defeat from the jaws of victory since 1985.

Anyway, we’ll revert this change today, thanks for the feedback. If the following order of typefaces doesn’t work for you or you have suggestions, let me know.

Planned CSS font order: “Lucida Grande”, “Lucida Sans Unicode”, “Trebuchet Unicode MS”, Verdana, sans-serif;

Nice update guys.
One issue though, the font seems to have shrunk
It’s not really pretty on my screen in FF 2, I have to use the zoom feature to be able to read
Maybe it’s a CSS issue too?
