Dunenewt Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Ah, I'm glad someone does. I may change the colour to something less bright though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 works with the yellow font, most writing on this site is in yellow so wouldn't make much difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well, this colour is slightly better I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I find myself reading slower when that font is being used. That's just me, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Gotenks absorbed Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Orange is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm sure it's not the colour that's affecting my reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 You can't see the Papyrus font?Nope.IE6.I find myself reading slower when that font is being used. That's just me, I guess.I'm sure it's not the colour that's affecting my reading.I haven't seen the font, but I suppose the letters are drawn in an unusual way, so it takes longer to associate them with the letter appearance patterns you've got from your regular reading experience.

Dunenewt Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Is it all fine now for you to read my posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 It's either fine, or turned fine (ie gotten used to it). Either way, no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 You've got an eye-friednly color now, but the new font is not showing for me. Perhaps it's not present on my system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Try increasing the font size by 1 (or a bit bigger somehow).You've got an eye-friednly color now, but the new font is not showing for me. Perhaps it's not present on my system?Most likely the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 I dropped the font now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandChigger Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I think he was just quite rude and excessive with his criticism.That's a fairly accurate assessment. :DI exchanged a few emails with KJA, during the course of which he treated me like a total Dune n00b. We tried to do an email interview with him later and he replied with answers he obviously hadn't put any time or thought into.That's when it got PERSONAL. And thus it remains.

SandChigger Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'm now usually on Jacurutu, Freakzilla's new site, and The (Almost) Undeleted, run by Omphalos. (I'm blocked from viewing Dune Novels...wink wink, nudge nudge, knowharramean? Block's as good as a blink to a cielago in flight, wot?) I haven't been doing much on Wikipedia recently; it's in fairly good hands for the moment, it seems. I've been terrorizing the Amazon US discussion fora as well. Used to be active on Arrakeen until it went floppy-white-bits up. (Aye, now thar's a tale fer tha tellin', har har! Aye!)I haven't tried contacting Brian directly. He doesn't do email (supposedly). I have exchanged emails with Kimberly Herbert over on MySpace, though. She seems nice enough, and quite devoted to her father. Brian is such a non-entity online due to his Internet phobia. (Byron, his nephew claims it's "philosophical reservations" concerning the Web, but he's just mouthing the official line. And there are those who think that it's all just part of a "oh, look, the eccentric author" PR thing.) I don't really know what to think about him. I've looked through quite a bit of his Timeweb now, and I'm not impressed. Supposedly he's written half of the new Dune books, but I don't see much of the same style in them. (I've looked at more of Kevin's stuff, and I can more easily believe that he's responsible for the majority of the new books.)The great tragedy of the piece is that Brian felt he HAD to work with someone (like he worked with his father at the end) AND that he chose Kevin. (If you read between the lines of the accounts of how they got together, you get a picture of KJA promoting himself with the hardsell.)Ah well.
