Current --font-sans: ... sans-serif on Windows will most likely render as Arial, which looks ugly.
I propose replicating GitHub’s font stack, which should use better fonts and look more familiar for Windows users.

current version:
case-before

proposed version:
case-after

GitHub's font stack has proper support for:

  • macOS/iOS: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont
  • Windows: Segoe UI
  • Linux: Noto Sans
  • Emoji: Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji

Good call. We've been debating this ourselves. Let's try it!

Hopefully this won't cause a regression for this guy: #2021
