PSA: fix for the LJ font problem
If you use the HTML editor to post entries, you have probably noticed that they changed the font again to something small and narrow and variable-width and generally hard to read. Support says they'll fix it eventually but they don't know when. (Someone even asserted that this is better for a majority of users, but I don't know how they would have determined that. I've never heard of LJ doing proper user studies, and the old font was in place for years without obvious outcries.)
But -- technology to the rescue. If you use Firefox (or, I'm told, Chrome has this too), get yourself the Stylish extension if you don't already have it. This lets you override the styling of web pages, either globally or for specific sites. Then go here for the script to plug in for LJ. (There is something ever so slightly off about the font this gives you, too, but I can't tell what and it's good enough.)
Thank you![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
funkybrewsta for saving our eyes!
Update (2011-11-11): it appears they've fixed it now. They did that once before and subsequently broke it, though, so I'm keeping this script handy.
