The 3.8 and 3.9 failures are unrelated, see #177 for a fix. |

Apple supports https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#ui-serif-def for this, with 'ui-serif', 'ui-sans-serif' and 'ui-monospace'. The last one allows using the system monospace font (SF Mono) without explicitly naming it. These aren't supported by other browser at this time (according to caniuse) |

Thanks, I didn't know about those! The caniuse link: https://caniuse.com/extended-system-fonts, shows 17.33% availability. The resources tab links to the Chromium and Firefox issues, but there's not been movement for 1-2 years. Webkit (Safari) has supported it for 4 years. The "CSS Fonts Module Level 4" spec is still draft, but was updated last month. We could put first in font-family, and non-Safari browsers would fall back to the other fonts. But perhaps we should play safe and not use them until more browsers support it or the spec is approved? Or are they already widely used by other sites? |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would really like to see the modernized font.

I would prefer to wait until this spec was implemented in more browsers. If we go down this route, it's worth deciding if we would prefer to be stylistically consistent based on the OS + available fonts vs aligned with the user's OS font configuration (which is likely more varied on Linux and Android compared to iOS, macOS and Windows). I suggest we take on things from the updated font stack in a follow up, since this is a meaningful improvement over status quo! |

Looks great, thanks for the PR |

I don't know. I was primarily triggered by the list of fonts for "copybutton", which includes Apple's previoius preferred monospace font (Menlo), but not the current one (SF Mono). Using "ui-monospace" there would future proof us a little for Apple's platforms, although I'd assume that they'll keep using the San Francisco font suite for the foreseeable future. |

The primary font used for by this theme is Lucida Grande.
By default, this is only used on macOS:
macOSOn other platforms, the browser uses the more common Arial:
Windows, Linux, Android, iPhoneHistory
Lucida Grande used to be the system font on Macs from 1999 to 2014, and was used by websites such as apple.com, facebook.com and twitter.com.
I can't think of any other big websites still using Lucida Grande. To me it looks dated, and I find it hard to read.
System font stack
I recommend we update to the so-called "system font stack".
Benefits according to https://systemfontstack.com:
Many sites use a system font stack:
