On the new-look forum, quoted text is in a horrible, barely legible wispy greyish font. I use Firefox on a linux machine. As I am writing, I see that my text is in a different, but equally horrid font.

As per Ben's comment, also the site admins don't have time to read every thread, it might help is you include them in your post, as I have done below.

What Linux are you using? Or what Firefox?

On this machine I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 and Firefox 31.

The font looks flawless.

Would be interesting to know what differences we have between our systems that could affect this.

OpenSUSE 13.1, firefox 31, KDE.

@velocio Would you rather move this thread to 'bugs and feedback' as suggested above? I have noticed another nasty. I will open a thread about it over there ->

I think this was the Eleni font, but we moved to Merriweather as it appeared to be better supported on all platforms.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
