Please fix the font type and size to be LW-standard, your post is hard to read. As a general advice, avoid serifs on screen.
General note to everyone: I recommend composing posts in something that converts easily to clean HTML. I always write my posts in markdown, then convert to HTML with the Markdown Dingus, then paste it into the HTML editor in the LW post editor.
By the way, why posts aren't written like comments, in Markdown format? Could we consider adding markdown formatting as an option?
Do you have a solution for LaTeX?
I also use markdown, but have been doing ascii math because there's no obvious and easy way to handle LaTeX.
I have a mathy post or two coming up that would enjoy trivial LaTeX.
Some of http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Comment_formatting#Using_LaTeX_to_render_mathematics is relevant.
Draft.in is another great option for this.
I've found Draft.in to be annoying. I may try it again in 6 months to see if they've improved it in the ways I care about.
Minor munchkin technique: If you have strong preferences for one font or another, it is possible in most web browsers, including Firefox, to tell your browser to respect your font choices and not allow web sites to override them. For instance I set Firefox to require a minimum 16 point font size. If it mattered to me, I could also also set all fonts to sans serif.
I find sans serif fonts annoying insofar as they fail to distinguish between different characters, such as l and I.
Ah: thesis, and then anti-thesis. This is where I come in with synthesis and say you're both wrong, on average serif vs sans-serif may not matter at all for reader happiness on longform content.
Yep, VoI is not a Vol.
