We tried using new embedded fonts (Oxygen and Amaranth) as the main default fonts for Tatoeba, but after the demand of several users, the font was reverted back to Trebuchet MS.
Oxygen and Amaranth are closer to the look and feel that I wish for Tatoeba, but the limitation to Latin letters for these fonts creates a discrepancy that is indeed problematic, since Tatoeba is a linguistic platform and needs to handle uniformly a wide variety of characters.
I wouldn't have a proper reply to this issue so I've reverted back to Trebuchet MS. The website however uses only 1 font overall. For people who enjoyed the previous fonts, this is my Stylish for it (that is on Firefox, you'd have to modify it slightly for Chrome).
Upgrade of CakePHP
Tatoeba is based on the CakePHP framework. We upgraded it from version 1.2.6 to 1.2.12. An upgrade to version 1.3 is on the way.
This is not going to have any significant impact for users right now, but in the longer term, upgrading towards more recent versions of CakePHP can result in better performances (in other words, making the website overall faster).
