Ya know what. It looks fine in Firefox, but that font looks like garbage rendered in Chrome. I don't know if it's the font-family or the font-size, but something's making me want to scratch my eyes out or make me want to kill my screen with fire.

It's probably an unfair generalization to assume that all female Python developers don't use Chrome.

Wow. I'm on Safari in OS X and it doesn't look anything like that. No wonder you guys are having trouble reading it.

I'd rather it just be left at default, but at least it's readable.

Could this be a Windows-only issue? I found that it was unreadable on Firefox 19, Opera 12.02 and Chrome on Windows 7.

You're right, it is unfair to generalize that all female Python developers don't use Chrome. Wonder if it looks better on a Mac in Chrome; it looks terrible in Chrome on Windows.

It's a shame because Quicksand looks like a great Sans Serif font. I hope that the immediate repulsion I felt when I opened this article doesn't detract from people reading the great gentle introduction to using rebase.

It's just a normal unreadable article in Chrome on OSX. On Chrome on Windows something's broken.
