Description

@kilasuit

This may be just a me thing, but the font used for each man page is incredibly hard to parse and read. So it may be worth spending some time investigating other fonts to use

    Not gonna lie: Unless you spend time investigating and then convincing others that another font is better, I don't see this happening. This project isn't like Aladdin where you wish something and it magically appears just because you wished for it.

    Danke, this issue wasn't a can the project team do this and more a general perhaps this is a good learning exercise for starting to work with or learn more about this project whether that be for me (quite likely) or anyone else thinking similarly to me.

    As a maintainer, collaborator and long time developer, I totally get this

    This project isn't like Aladdin where you wish something and it magically appears just because you wished for it.

    I'll come back to this in the coming days as I do think this would be something that would help readability, even if I endup with a personal hacky implementation using a personal style sheet for the site.

    While readability is an excellent subject for heated discussions that are firmly rooted in vastly divergent personal tastes, I, for one, would love to see your contribution, even if we have to end up with some sort of Settings page that stores personal preferences in the localStorage and allows users to choose different fonts based on their individual preferences.

    @kilasuit I agree the look isn't very accessible and could use some improvement. And as much as I'd like to make this better, I'm not much of a typography expert to improve the situation

    Totally agree to what @kilasuit said.
    Right now the font being used is not really the best one .
    The main problem is when you have the dark theme turned on which worsens the situatuon because of the font color being a slight greyish in the darkish background which in turn can give you a migraine if you read too long

    @Aashaan403 We're happy to accept contributions. I'm not skilled on the topic, so I cannot do it myself. Even designing mockups can help, so someone else can implement it.
