What an absolutely stupid response to this. Of course, just use something that people would already have, 5head. Let me just ask the designer on my team to stop using anything other than Arial and Times New Roman.

If a typical HN reader had their way, every single webpage on the internet would be text-only, with monospace font, and an RSS feed.

And what a glorious improvement that would be!

(I could do without the RSS feed, though)

You can make a stack of standard fonts look just fine. I think most of the web would be better off doing that. You can choose the best looking font for Windows, the best one for Mac, and the best looking Linux fonts, and just move along. Your page will load faster, and look more familiar to your users.

The fonts on my site weight about 50 kb. I don't think it will make such a big difference.

Let me also chime in and say this would be awesome!
