@Myndex: It's regrettable that, of all the fonts developed by Microsoft, you make a sweeping judgment based on Arial Narrow and Courier New, which were based on some earlier font designs and not specifically for optimizing on-screen legibility, while disregarding Georgia and Verdana, both of which were designed with on-screen legibility in mind and which you evaluate as good for accessibility and readability. Or Sitka Text, which was developed using scientific evaluations of legibility (see [Larson & Carter, 2016](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/sitka-a-collaboration-between-type-design-and-science/). Also, it would have been helpful if your paper on evaluating fonts for legibility had provided some details, or even reference to some separate work, explaining how you actually arrived at objectively-measured evaluations and what the scientific basis was for the evaluations. -- GitHub Notification of comment by PeterCon Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5065#issuecomment-929719877 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
