@Player7 How does it look on the Google Font website? Perhaps your computer should clean its room and sort itself out.
Comparing too Google the forum used any Roboto medium and not 14 px regular. So it’s weight heavy blury because of the wrong body-mass-index Dr. Inspector told us.

The Goolag font website shows pretty much the same in all browsers -no difference… the problem with the font is your side, aside from the difference in font weight… I personally its just a bad font choice for large amount of message text that people on forums read and write alot of.
Infact the blog site font … overly large, often have to zoom out the page a few times, so 70%… this oversized font madness and huge padded spaces with layouts like the blog is just off putting not to mention the extra scrolling every sentence. Maybe at 4k resolution it doesn’t suck as much, but I’d say large portion of visitors to the site are still using 1080p resolution. Unless they like kindergarten age adults who can’t see good maybe, I dunno

@Quatum1000 The default font weight should be regular (400) - are you experiencing something else?
Its not only the forum that needs to be fixed with this forum, its overall quality control. Most forums out there has good moderation where the focus is objective and friendly. On this forum everything is subjective, even with moderation. The forum just don’t match the quality of Unity 3D as a product. I say start with the roots and go from there.
I think that is subjective, the moderation on here is fine though I’d replace the others with just clones of more hippocoder 
… I’ve seen far worse places I wouldn’t waste my time signing upto.
It’s not the size of the font… it is the font-family (the size thing was just trying to put the font size back to what it was before Roboto for me anyway)… Because that new Roboto font choice of this forum sucks… its one hell of a poor choice where readability for end users matters, it may work fine for a couple of sentences on a islab device and look kinda stylish at face value…but for paragraphs of text… what a piece of shit looking font I think it designed to make people dumb and suck the critical thinking out of its users…maybe so Goolag advertising is more effective … just the kinda of frankenstien crap you’d expect out of the Goolag right whatever… weirdly some of its past font design looked better than what it does now…so much for progress its all going downhill at that place lol.
So yeah thank duck for stylish… I’d quit visiting this forum much at all if wasn’t for making the default font for everything not garbage. I’m surprised the overal readership and interaction of Unity forum/blogs hasn’t completely died off because of these poor design choices. Hell I think the blog is mostly dead literately because of the poor layout and font it has, only time I see comments on the blog posts are when the blog post itself is bound to get some people commenting out of necessity to ask something… but in general totally dead… and deservedly so… the layout/font effing sucks…The forum probably just survives on the fact people still see it as somewhat functional for its purpose…good xenforo features basically imo.
@Player7 , Roboto is a quite common font on the web, and well received I believe. I’m just suspecting it might not render right for you, for whatever reason.
Both the blog and forum is, in terms of activity, performing quite fine actually.
-
Didn’t you know/see the difference between ClearType LCD, Postscript and RenderFonts on the different display devices?
-
What is your display size and pixel resolution on your daily working device?
I’m assured your working on mac without ClearType equivalent.
- Why the Apple forum community web designers (the best designs guys of the world) use ClearType and not any “common Roboto” postscript render fonts?

Imgur: The magic of the Internet (better, readable )
Imgur: The magic of the Internet (worse, awful, bold everywhere, terrible, Roboto == eye cancer)
And that is just the thread view… yknow part of the forum feature is showing read threads from unread threads, it’s not very good when the default font the forum uses practically makes distinguishing that extra effort when it should be instantly noticeable.
I’d take more screenshots to compare, but the thread starter already posted a comparison of the crispy font and anyone not using css fixes can see just what the difference is in Roboto and what the font style used to be, at the top of the thread… its awful… like reading something in all bold…you start not giving crap about what is actually being written about because its all just a blur of a not so great font being in used in an awful way.
“Roboto is a quite common font on the web, and well received I believe”
yeh well a quick search on Roboto +shit, + ugly, +awful and I think you’ll find what (a really tiny vocal minority) really think of it, just ignore them right…
Well I’d never give crap about what iDevice users have to say… those fools have already managed to turn most the modern websites in barely usable junk like it was designed for people with adhd disorders… large images, dumbed menu systems, oversized fonts, white space safe padding everywhere… just nuke silicon valley already south korea jk
Really its like looking a web being turned into something made for 3year olds. No wonder Asia is taking over at least there websites aren’t all becoming dumbed down garbage, I don’t think you’ll find they give a crap what comes out of the Goolag et al or how it manages to be so pervasive in getting developers using most its shit. Roboto as font is just a minor part of problem, perhaps its like the modern equivalent of comic sans trying to grab attention of end users in a bad way, and the western industry of developers and designers don’t seem to have realized it yet as they got sucked in and played.
Disagreed!
