I like Topaz 8. I like Topaz 16 even better. I like Topaz 24.
The font being voted on is not Topaz.
It is around 40 pixels tall? But it is most certainly not Topaz 40. It looks like Topaz 8, blown up and intentionally not smoothed out.
It says to everyone, hey buddy, this is an Amiga site and Amigas have frakking ugly fonts. I find it offensive.
The Amiga has always allowed smooth scalable fonts since 1985. But beginning with the release of OS 2, the OS came with smooth scalable fonts built in.
I printed 10,000s of pages of beautiful smooth fonts with my Amiga on my 600x600 dpi HP laserjet back in the early/mid 90s.
Given the Amiga's history of beautiful desktop publishing, why some people want to associate Amigas with blocky, ugly, fonts is beyond me.
As long as we are intentionally putting offensive things on the homepage lets put a picture of Mehdi Ali up there to. He is an oldskool Amiga dude. He has as much right to be up there an an intentionally unsmoothed Topaz.
