My bad, the sans-serif is indeed the only body font defined on sr.ht,
but it’s not the case for the monospaced font declaration.

Oh yeah, I know. That’s why I’m suggesting to only use bare sans-serif

They have their use for general public websites and whatnot (defining a
coherent fallback stategy to have a consistent layout, or if an hosted
font doesn’t load), but I’m not so sure about their usage on a technical
websites like sr.ht :^)

It’s quite a good recreation of the original design. I’m not a fan of
the large variation, it’s less efficient and readable than the original
spacing.

While we are discussing the matter: what about font preferences? I think
that setting the font-family to sans-serif and monospace would lead to a
random direction but may allow better accessibility for dyslexic persons
for example. Or even allow people to set the programming font they are
used to in their browser preference. Just chiming in.

I think that it would also be an improvement to allow people who host
a sourcehut instance to customize the CSS or do some light templating
modifications in an easy way.

Right now, such customizations would need the user of to provide a
modified copy of the frontend, which is arguably useless/overkill. I
may be wrong on the licensing situation, though, I didn’t really
check.

Working on a new frontend with such details in mind would be
appreciated I think.
