Description: The primary font used for by this theme is Lucida Grande. By default, this is only used on macOS: macOS On other platforms, the browser uses the more common Arial: Windows, Linux, Android, iPhone Windows Linux Android iPhone History Lucida Grande used to be the system font on Macs from 1999 to 2014, and was used by websites such as apple.com, facebook.com and twitter.com. In OS X Yosemite 10.10 (released in 2014), Apple changed the system font to Helvetica Neue (much closer to Arial). In OS X El Capitan 10.11 (released in 2015), Apple changed it to San Francisco. I can't think of any other big websites still using Lucida Grande. To me it looks dated, and I find it hard to read. System font stack I recommend we update to the so-called "system font stack". Benefits according to https://systemfontstack.com: Fast: No network request, no time to parse a font, no flash of an incorrect font. Styles & unicode: System fonts have lots of styles and broad language coverage, unlike many webfonts. Familiarity: Web apps feel more native when they use system font faces. Many sites use a system font stack: GitHub Stack Overflow Booking.com Weather.com, Bootstrap, Medium, Ghost, PubMed, and the WordPress dashboard Furo theme (used on the devguide) PyData Sphinx Theme https://peps.python.org/: python/peps#3132 See more on the history and rationale.
