New fonts, consistent colors and font size, blah blah blah. Putin your 2 cents, please. [[User:R4wrz0rz0r|<span style="background:black;color:white;border:2px solid cyan;font-variant:small-caps;padding:2px">rZ</span>]] 13:20, 28 May 2012 (PDT)

:{{c|Support}} I like the fact that it is the font and font colour from the game itself. [[User:Taser9001|Taser9001]] 01:16, 29 May 2012 (PDT)

:{{c|x|Against}} because it is: Better readable ''<or>'' More Original ; I think it is better to show it more cleary, instead of a 100% copy of every game aspect. Also in each resolution the size differs, f.e. in low resolutions the wiki also is not good readable... (<small>this has nothing to do with the topic, but i wanted to mention it</small>). [[User:TheDoctor|TheDoctor]] 13:38, 31 May 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|x|Against}} It's not how the graphic looks in-game, so why change it? Also, this text is harder to read than the original. --[[User:Enthers|Enthers]]. (''I find this work intriguing. How about yourself, sir?'') 18:59, 6 June 2012 (PDT)

:: Actually it is a replica of the in-game appearance. Also it remains readable, which is all that matters. Not how much more- or less-readable it is compared to the old version. If that were the case we would be using White on Black and the Helvetica font to be absolutely maximum readable - however this is obviously not necessary as long as it remains above the baseline of legibility. [[File:User Rebmcr Sig.png|x20px|link=User:Rebmcr]] 18:17, 7 June 2012 (PDT)

:{{c|Neutral}} Not as easy on the eye as I would expect, but I guess it'd be okay. Hm. {{n}} [[User:EpicEric|<span style="color:#5885A2;font-size:15px;font-family:'Trebuchet MS';text-shadow:#e3e3e3 1px 1px 0px;"><b>Epic Eric</b></span>]] <small> ([[User talk:EpicEric|T]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/EpicEric|C]])</small> 13:28, 11 June 2012 (PDT)

:{{c|Support}} It's nice. It synergises with the Wiki really well, as well as strengthening the link between the game and the Wiki itself. [[File:User Wingless Winged Signature.png|150px|link=User:Wingless]] 12:18, 14 June 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|Neutral}} The TF2 font is fairly readable, however I'm not sure we should be copying every aspect from the game verbatim when the current font works just fine. As our goal is to communicate information clearly, why should we make it more difficult even if it is only slightly? We should probably get more user input from different TF2 communities as this is a site-wide change, before taking any action (official forums, Facepunch, reddit etc.), to see whether this change would be accepted. Also, as the fonts are hosted by [[User:WindPower|Wind]], we'll need his approval as this might increase the load on his server due to this being site-wide.

:{{c|Support}} | It would be an extremely good addition to the wiki, if this were implemented. -[[User:NameUser|NameUser]] 22:28, 25 June 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|Support}} I don't see why not. It's still perfectly readable and looks better --[[User:LiquidFire|<span style="color:#ff0000;font-weight:bold;">Liquid</span>]] [[User_talk:LiquidFire|<span style="color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Fire</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/LiquidFire|<span style="color:#808080;font-weight:bold;">@H|H</span>]] 12:36, 26 June 2012 (PDT)

:{{c|Support}} This template is ''meant'' to be a reproduction of the in-game thingy (that's why it looks lik the in-game one), so why make a compromise on its fonts when we can make them the same? It's still readable, and it doesn't make any difference to the existing load on my server because all fonts are loaded all the time anyway. — [[User:WindPower|<span style="font-weight:bold;">Wind</span>]] 17:02, 26 June 2012 (PDT)

:{{c|Support}} Looks good. Gives everyone a good picture of TF2-style text. Collector1
 +
:{{c|Support}}  Yeah, new text is much better. I like it. And it's very readable. [[User:Bel|Bel]] 01:15, 29 June 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|X|Against}} I find this new template's text more difficult to read than current template's text. Good idea though. -[[User:Asplode|Asplode]] 12:10, 30 June 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|X|Against}} I find it harder to read. Plus the original text is how it's like in-game [[User:Wariopunk|Wariopunk]] 03:31, 9 July 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|Support}} Looks to be more in keeping with the spirit of TF2, and this wiki. It's larger, and consequently easier to read. [[User:Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh]] 07:16, 31 July 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|Neutral}} It follows the spirit of TF2, which I approve of. However, the font will be harder to read on smaller resolutions. [[User:JayLow|JayLow]] 10:06, 1 August 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|Support}} Looks nice, consistent with the game itself, why not, really? [[User:Zabidenu|Zabidenu]] 15:58, 6 August 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|X|Against}} Looks nice but it's harder to read. It sort of looks dirty on my resolution too. I'd suggest using the sans-serif front because it looks cleaner and more professional. [[User:ErroR|ErroR]] 13:56, 8 August 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|Support}} The font helps strengthen the bond between the wiki and the game it's informing about. [[User:Damax3rd|Damax3rd]] 16:22, 9 August 2012 (PDT)
 +
:{{c|x|Against}} Font is hard to read [[User:Ownage Hamster|Ownage Hamster]] 19:52, 10 August 2012 (PDT)
