It should also be noted that in Simplified Chinese Windows 8/10, all characters including Latin characters are displayed with Microsoft YaHei UI, not Segoe UI overriding Segoe UI in GitHub is a different behaviour compared to Windows 8/10. Thus, Primer should use the system font provided to Simplified Chinese users (in this case, SimSun) even though it looks ugly as it is the font chosen by user (although involuntary).īesides, even considering Windows 8/10 of Microsoft YaHei UI, it is not suitable to pair Microsoft YaHei UI with Segoe UI as Segoe UI is a tad bit thinner than Microsoft YaHei UI even though Segoe UI has more weights than Microsoft YaHei UI.Simplified Chinese users that use Windows 7/Vista or older (mainly chose to use Classic theme themselves) will see SimSun (as shown in the site) as their OS font Windows 8/10 will use Microsoft YaHei UI.
Whatever font is used on a user's OS should be used on GitHub for a streamlined experience.So I would say yes.Īssuming you agree that "if a user had set their system font to a serif font, GitHub should use the serif font too", the following will stand true: Why prioritise system-ui over ui-sans-serif? If the system is using, say, a serif font as the system font, would Primer really want to use that?ĪFAIK, Primer tries to stay as close to the default system font as possible. According to the reply in #1209 (comment): If Primer aims to replicate system display font in the browser, they should use system-ui as the first font in the first place the problem described by in is actually a non-issue. I had a little discussion with some Simplified Chinese users and one has provided an insight as follow:
