Hello John,

You appear to be a person of very fixed opinions. The amount of effort contemporary typographers put into making both sans and serif fonts good for screen viewing is very large. This matter is not a confrontation or a battle to be won with arguments, with some victor ultimately emerging. It is a matter of taste and refinement.

Are you going to dictate to The New York Times, for example, that they convert their serif to sans?

The sans you have chosen for your demonstration site is utterly soulless. And as for text that is not black, can you please go and find a few older people whose vision is no longer 20/20 and find out what they think about that? As one's vision deteriorates with age - and yours will too - one needs all the contrast available. The present graphic designer fad for grey and light text is just annoying. The demographic of the lilypond community does include many older folks I understand.


Andrew
