Special chide to Blackbit for the outcome. :~(

Not even close. Arguably it's attractive, as long as you don't actually need
to use it or read anything on it. Pray your eyes are as good as a 15 year old
or you aren't using a high resolution device to access it if so.

It's terribly rude, apparently designed by people with giant displays and/or
perfect vision, for low resolution displays of 20 years ago, with no apparent
consideration given to users of high resolution displays, or those with less
than perfect eyesight.

http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/SC/sc-sambaorg1005.png is what it looks like on
resolution only 150% of "standard" 96. Note the note at the bottom of the
image about proper viewing.

Do you have a sans-serif version of it?

There are two ways to react after improvements or changes when one has
trouble with them: constructive criticism, given with a tone that
respects others' work....and your way.

I would perfectly understand the Samba Team if they happen to ignore
your rant. May I suggest you consider reformulating your post and send
useful propositions?

Hmm, only the headlines are in serif fonts.
All the text bodies are sans-serif.

Are you speaking of the headlines?

Cheers - Michael

Blackbit's work, like most web designers' work, disrespects user defaults. In
this case, Blackbit did it by ignoring them altogether, sizing text in px.

That's what http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/SC/sc-sambaorg1005.png was supposed to be.
How does the depiction fall short?
