Wikipedia For Typophiles
For fans of Hoefler & Frere-Jones, a Userstyle that redesigns Wikipedia with two of their best typefaces -- Gotham and Whitney. Firefox, Stylish and specific Hoefler & Frere-Jones fonts required.
The style also strips Wikipedia down to a "Readers Only" format. Here's the description from the style's page at userstyles.org:
BETTER SCREENSHOT HERE: http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff95/herarchitectlover/WikiSushi.png
The basic look of this style: http://userstyles.org/styles/18397 ...
PLUS
A List Apart's color scheme and link styles (http://www.alistapart.com) ...
PLUS
Stylish bullets in the thumbnail captions and disambiguation links using Hoefler & Frere-Jones' MercuryNumericG4-SemiItalic typeface.
REQUIRED: Gotham Rounded Medium, Gotham Rounded Bold, Whitney, Whitney Condensed and MercuryNumericG4-SemiItalic.
I realize this isn't for everybody, but if you install and enjoy this style, feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Works PERFECTLY in the latest beta of Firefox -- Windows XP -- Cleartype enabled -- 106% DPI on a 1280 x 768 LCD monitor

Thanks, benign! It is a poor screenshot, I know. It looks quite good on my monitor (no problems with blurriness, etc.) Any tips on getting a good one? It's a PNG file, cropped after pasting it into Microsoft Publisher (I know, I know) and saving it at 300 DPI. I used the basic "PrtScn" approach because the screenshot extensions for Firefox I tried looked even worse. Thanks again for your feedback! I'll try to post a better screenshot soon (here and at Userstyles).

Here's a better screenshot (I hope -- I've been staring at it for WAY too long).
Thanks again!
