It seems that we're somewhere in the queue for a site CSS adjustment, accompanied by the new profile pages. Since the CSS is getting a makeover, I would like to float this idea: can we change the font to something that gets along better with the MathJax font?

Now, I know that this is quite a lot to ask, since the site font is currently very sans-serif, but over in Chemistry SE's gorgeous new design it does work much better (with a serif font):
So: can we move over in that direction somewhat?
