font: colons and semicolons

[ecohansen]

The site's default font seems to hide colons and semicolons: I can't say how many time's I've thought I was reading a run-on, only to discover, on re-reading, that a ghostly colon was pining away at the heart of the sentence.  This seems clunky; it seems alienating. There might be solutions: there might be ways for the site to substitute default colons and semicolons from another font without changing the default font overall.  I wouldn't know: I'm not a webmaster or a coder.  But some similar solution would brighten my day; it would remove a persistent minor irritation.

 

Thank you so much for everything you do.

what browser are you using? in chrome/windows the colons: and semicolons; are working fine.

[ecohansen]

Firefox.  They show up, but they're not obvious: it seems like they're rendered with half the weight of other text.

and it's only this site's posts which don't show up? I think you're missing a font because the site is using "normal 14px helvetica,arial,sans-serif"

I'll try re-installiing firefox. It could just e a glitch.  Thanks.
