Well, there were all these people who don't get a blank screen when stuff is whitefonted -- which is why we really had to stop the whitefont, isn't it?

Just curious, but is there anyone who still has this problem?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think that the current system is formally written down anyplace, however, which might be where the problem lies.

I don't think the current system exists, exactly. I mean, sumi's been going on a two-week, and I've been going on 52 weeks.

Whatever the period is (and I am obviously biased), just yell and I'll drop it into the description.

All our Lynx users may have gone away, but they did exist at the start of the Phoenix board.

If I'm reading on the Treo, there's no such thing as whitefont. But I see that as my option and not something that needs to be accomodated.

Blackberry does a greyfont -- easy enough to notice and skim. Not perfect, but usable.

Interesting. So even though Lynx has pretty much gone the way of pulse dialing, mobile internet isn't white-font friendly either.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm posting in lynx right now, and it's -- well, doable, anyway, but not fucking great.

Our wings are not tired

My Treo works with Whitefont, but my SideKick did not. I got accidently spoiled for stuff a few times when I reading on my old SideKick.

I might just need an upgrade, then.
