Bits & Pieces

Well, one more’s done it. Twitter has decided that Arial is way too popular for them and are using  now the more unpopular *cough cough* Helvetica Neue. Since I happen to  have the font in question, I see monkeys in anything but Cyrillic where  my font doesn’t play. The sad thing is that if I was to see their coowaal  change, I’ll need to have the font installed. If I am on a  Winblows with the font installed, I’ll be seeing monkeys and not  visiting the site because it’s unreadable. And strangely I’m not the only one with that sentiment.
One would think that content was the most important asset for them. Seems not.
P.S. For the rest of their re-design I would not have enough facepalms.
