Added link to example source, so readers can check on their own browsers. Added alt text for the images.
- I guess this is more personal preference than anything else, but I think Hebrew in the post titles in the Q&A category uses quite an ugly font.
- The code seems to be
- ```
- h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{
- font-family:
- "Red Hat Display",
- "Roboto",
- "Helvetica Neue",
- "Helvetica",
- "Arial",
- sans-serif
- }
- ```
I don't know which of those my browser is using (and if it's the fallback `sans-serif` then I have only myself to blame and you can ignore this post), but the question title comes out looking like> - The thin, very rounded top of the ר (rightmost letter) near the thicker, squared-off ד (second letter from the right) is unappealing, as is the two letters' proximity to one another. Contrast the font used in the post body,
> - which is neater. Note also that the horizontal lines of the _kamatz_ and _patach_ vowels (which are beneath the rightmost two letters in the title screenshot above) are very thin and close to the letters, which is perhaps a more objective objection.
(For what it's worth, I see [an eight-year-old description of how to use a different font for Hebrew than for the rest of the site](http://24ways.org/2011/creating-custom-font-stacks-with-unicode-range/).)
