"M"s are light on web site/new site?
Hi Friends, Has anyone else ever noticed how all the capital letters M, on the website, look like they were typed with a typewriter whose M key has a weak spring? See attachments. I guess that must be something to do with the font? I guess most people would never notice it. But ever since I noticed it, I can't seem to ignore it! Anyway, a while ago there was some talk about making a new site, with responsive design, and I had some wishes for different text/heading styles, and a few other things. I'm just curious if anything is happening with that?
Thanks, brynn

The site doesn't look like that to me. Perhaps something is wrong with that font on your system?

Well I don't understand enough about how the website works, to know what font I'm supposed to be seeing. But I thought in general that websites are set up so that if someone doesn't have that font installed, either there's some kind of script (or something) that provides it for me, or I see the fallback font.
I don't know what font I'm actually seeing. I do know that I'd like to see some better styles than what I actually see. But maybe I'm not seeing the correct font??

Hi Brynn,
We have a couple of designers involved, alas they seem to have gotten busy. If a grand-design becomes available at some point, the website can implement it; but for now the website has great feedback on style, layout and professionalism and the focus for the web team is on functionality and stability in this phase.
(improving the design of some pages is still important as they're still being developed with the features)
Martin,

Hi Brynn,
to answer your questions: The fonts you are supposed to see are Ubuntu and CallunaRegular. These fonts should automatically be loaded by your browser, because we provide them as a file, and link to it in the CSS stylesheet.
I can load and use both fonts, and they look correct. So this is either an issue with your browser, not displaying the font correctly, or not being able to load or use it, or you have a local version of those fonts on your computer, which looks different - and is used instead of the one from the web to minimize page load times.
To check which font you are seeing, in Firefox, select some text, right-click on the selection, and do 'inspect selection' (or similar, German version here ;) ) You can then look at the right side of the panel that pops up which fonts are meant to be used, and if you edit the right side, you can see how the picture changes ;) - unfortunately, you need to know how to edit CSS for this. If you really want to find out the reason, and need help, send me a mail and we'll try to find it out together.
Regards, Maren
