I think the font is Gibson-SemiBold - looks better with Gibson-Regular

You appear to be correct--but it still looks fuzzier in QB than here :

Back on January 22nd a number of users reported that on lower resolution screens of Windows PCs they were seeing some fuzziness in the font. Anti-Aliasing to use the technical term. We're trying to track down if this is still occurring? Is anyone still experiencing these issues?

I believe I'm still seeing the issue--see how in the screenshot below, it's hard to distinguish the dot on the "i" in "Fields"?
Does this warrant opening a support case? I can certainly do so. Thanks.

Well you could use the same
Service Worker
in my demo to immediately patch it to your liking faster than QuickBase will implement a fix.

Well live and learn. Apparently my
Service Worker
broke because the release value was changed sooner than I though:
OLD

New 2/1/2018
https://assets.quickbasecdn.net/res/873e615-1493/css/themes/classic/nav.css
It is easy enough the fix this but what I was trying to do at the moment was substitute the font on the third table to
Comic Sans MS
with this simple code:
var respModified = resp.replace(/74489D/g, "95ED64").replace(/Gibson-SemiBold/g, "Comic Sans MS");
So if you revisit the application and re-register the
Service Workers
you will now see
Arial
on the third table:
UPDATE :
changed to
Gibson-SemiBold
to
Comic Sans MS
for easier recognition.

Nothing surprising but it will probably take a few iterations to determine the best practices.

- just some feedback: the font
Comic Sans M
S appears to be working well.
It takes just a few minutes to make these changes through the
Service Worker
. How is progress on your end?

When I get a chance I will put some more robust code in the
Service Workers
. that will
not
be sensitive to the release version number and put the code in the Pastie Database.

Great News Sam! The Google Boys just released
Chrome 65
with the
Local Override
feature turned on so QuickBase users can just make local mods to their QuickBase files and persist their changes.
They also created and handy dandy

to show us how to modify and persist the background of a page on their devtools page. That's
Karma

Is there ever going to be a fix for this issue? "i" and "l" still look the same, and there is also still a problem with a clear definition to the font being used. New glasses and zooming the screen never fixed it.
