MT has given the typography on WordPress.org a refresh to bring it more in line with our sans-serif (instead of Lucida) approach in the WP dashboard, and also tightened up the vertical space the sub-heads were taking up on the page. Helvetica / Arial is a bit tougher than Lucida at smaller pixel sizes, so drop a comment here if you notice anything funky on the site.

For newer contributors who don’t know, MT = Matt Thomas.

Good to know – For a second I thought Moveable Type had given WordPress new fonts for Christmas?!?!

The new profiles layout is a project Chelsea Otakan and I did a while back, but we didn’t get it coded up until this week when Otto was in town and pitched in. This is a first step toward integrating more activity stream stuff like attending WordCamps, meetups, etc.

Seems like the profiles doesn’t have sans-serif yet?

Much much love for the forum level up
Older people + folks with terrible vision comment. The fonts are a smidge too small on the forums. If #forumlist has a fontsize of 12px (instead of 11) and maybe #forumlist a to 13px, it’s just a bit easier on the eyes

+1 – it’s really really tiny on my hi-res MBP’s screen.
Also anyone know why the Meetups forum reports -73 (negative 73) topics?

It needs a re-count in bbPress. It’s from all the support tickets people posted in there that we had to move out, or the spam we deleted.

Am I seeing things, or have the too-small fonts in the forum been tweaked some time today? Anyway, much better, now, and I really like the changes overall!

I thought something looked different… really loving all the tweaks to wordpress.org this week. Looking great!

typography was one of the reasons you got involved with B2. All these years later and you’re still tough on creating the best typography.

Whoops, meant to post that in the previous post above plugin headers… duh
Another nice enhancement might be to add gravatars or something on the plugin author pages too – just a suggestion.

I think it would be better to combine both profiles.

I think user profiles on WP Profiles are going to be used across the site, hence they are redesigning it. If that’s not the current plan, it most definitely should be

I am missing the background color behind codes when they are posted inline, which makes them harder to recognize.

Looking great to me, I’m a big fan of the update!

humungous yay!
