I told Firefox to only use my preferred fonts and everything looks good to me.

User-in-control is best.

Cool. Any thoughts on the article?

(How'd you install those fonts on all your devices?)

That user likely doesn't primarily browse on mobile.

Bummer. User-in-control is best.

System Fonts - they come built-in to the OS.

Those vary by OS, but the OP only said "my preferred fonts" (not "system")

I’d love to just use `font-face: sans-serif` and always leave it up to the user, but different font metrics result in different (usually way too big) line heights.

Out of curiosity, what’s your font of choice?
