I like the menu, it's a good change from the standard bootstrap sites that are everywhere now.

Anyone else put off by the poor font rastering? ( http://i.imgur.com/4Jcc56U.png - notice the 'e', 'o', and 'a').

What should be done here? Use google web fonts? Just use different fonts that don't have this issue? I'd love to hear more thoughts on this issue from font experts.

Fair point. It's pretty easy to substitute another font of your choice. Raleway was just my personal preference.

Changing the font weight to 300 or 500 seems much superior to me. I like the font, but the 400 weight just has too many obvious jaggies.

Are you on Chrome by any chance? I've always had this problem with Chrome; Firefox does much better. Does anyone know how I can improve the font rastering on Chrome? (Windows 7) - http://i.imgur.com/hh3vqFk.jpg

How do you get such smooth fonts on Firefox in Windows 7? This is what I see on FF/Win7: http://i.imgur.com/KEFZSti.png

I like it. Today, I saw copy.com's landing page and really enjoyed that too. Bootstrap without being bootstrap.

Nice.

I'm just starting a new project (in about 30 minutes) and i'll be running with this theme as the initial template =)
