Font change?
Apr 26 2010, 8:08 PM EDT | Post edited: Apr 26 2010, 8:08 PM EDT
Instead of the default wetpaint font (such as the on you are typing with in a thread) should be changed. Because it's confusing the capital i is always confused with a lower-case L...

See? I l (First it's i then it's L)

Also, I noticed on the WCC2 banned member list.. There was a Baby_Apple who was actually a Baby_Appie. There was a Bumbiestar and an AuroraPeit. These people were trying to be Baby_Apple, Bumblestar, and AuroraPelt. Somebody even acted like Dapplepool by making their username Dappiepool.

With L's:
Baby_Apple
Dapplepool
Bumblestar
AuroraPelt

With i's:
Baby_AppIe
DappIepool
AuroraPeIt
BumbIestar

See any difference? Make the default font Garamond or something.. Or Batang. This way, no more members will be like this.

System would be a great font to use.

And I see how this could get bad, too.

The arial font is used for Wetpaint because it is compatible with nearly every browser and is highly legible. Do you find this valuable?

Yes. Good point there. Do you find this valuable?
