AW: Ugly fonts

[Ian Wood]

Joe,

I have a design/interface question for you. As a photographer, I  
often like web and app interfaces which have white or very light grey  
text on a dark grey (sometimes *very* dark grey) background - is this  
as bad as a coloured background for you?

I'm specifically thinking of apps like Aperture or websites like  
http://www.fredmiranda.com/ .
