The winner of the contest is Alex Bendiken. He will receive a new laptop as well as bragging rights as the creator of the new look of Slashdot. You can see his winning design in a near complete form now. Feel free to comment on any compatibility issues. We plan to take this live in the next few days. There will undoubtedly be a few minor glitches, but please submit bug reports and we'll sort it out as fast as possible. Also congratulations to Peter Lada, our runner up. He gets $250 credit at ThinkGeek. Thanks to everyone who participated- it was a lot of fun.

Helvetica looks like crap! by pestie · 2006-05-30 11:55 · Score: 1, Flamebait

OK, since I don't have the Lucida fonts specifically used, I end up falling back to Helvetica. And that's a butt-ugly bitmapped font with no anti-aliasing. As a result, the new design looks like ass warmed over. Where can I get a decent Helvetica TrueType font?
