Description Ryan Kaldari 2012-04-07 21:21:10 UTC 
The text of most timelines generated by EasyTimeline are virtually unreadable.

Here's an example:

There is no kerning whatsoever and the rendering looks like a BMP font that has been resized. We have plenty of good free-license fonts, and our SVG renderer is not entirely crappy these days, so I'm not sure what is causing the bad font rendering. Perhaps we just need to switch from FreeSans (which I've never heard of) to something like Vera Sans or DejaVu Sans.
