Change the font maybe?

Hello, FYI this is how the website renders on Firefox on Windows

(click the image to see 100% zoom)

You can see that font renders poorly and some letters are not legible

I've noticed that there's a small number of fonts that render similarly like this. But majority of fonts render well for me.

(Note that you might not be able to 100% reproduce it as the exact rendering depends on ClearType calibration on Windows)

cc @jpt, who I think already expressed a desire to change that font ;)

If I'm told what to change it to and it looks decent, I'll do it. PRs welcome too!

@jakub-g I recently started a bit of a style guide for Ricochet in the wiki, but the type choices there are tentative, and don't necessarily unify the app and the website. I'll put some more thought into this -- it may be time to make some larger decisions around branding in the short to mid term.

I suspect the combination of a light weight font and 72dpi screen is the problem here rather than deficiencies in ClearType/Windows font rendering or the hinting in Open Sans. I'd recommend a switch between Open Sans Light and Open Sans Regular on the website for now.
