From IRC <yuan> I am asking about the font because my VM doesn't display the font properly. The info bar texts are displayed fine. But not the texts on context menu (see attachment) they look like Segoe UI extra bold. <yuan> I wonder if that's related to particular hardware or Windows 8.1. It works fine on the Surface pro, windows 8. But not on my my 8.1 VM; I adjusted the resolution, but the type is still bold I don't see the font being set anywhere using the inspector.

Stephen, what's your thoughts on this? I talked with Michael Maslaney yesterday about in-content page. He used Feura Sans and it looks quite nice. I think we should use the same font for our in-content pages as well. And we might still need to consider Segoe UI for other parts of the app. Do you think Feura Sans will work well with Segoe UI? A style guide would be very helpful. Thank you!

Going to have a visual design meet-up in a few weeks. Should have more info on font alignment then! FWIW though, I wouldn't try and change fonts before v1.

(In reply to Stephen Horlander [:shorlander] from comment #2) > FWIW though, I wouldn't try and change fonts before v1. To clarify based on Comment 0: I think we should be consistent with Windows 8 in various areas. Which we should be but this bug and bug 905360 that Jonathan attached seems to indicate that either we aren't rendering the fonts correctly or something else is going on.
