Another option is have it be an option for the user to decide. If it's a single line of code, why not have an option in a user's settings where they can choose and store that option in local storage or a cookie. I suppose the considerations for this would be that you'd potentially have to serve up two sets of fonts vs one. But might be a nice little option for the user to choose for themselves.

I've thought about this. No technical limitations here, given our approach/implementation, but I would be concerned about the user experience of switching between fonts. I think there's a lot of benefits in having the reader know what to expect in this regard from post to post.

If it would be an option for the user, then the reader should be able to decide what he likes better, right? Not the writer.

Update: not a question any more, as it is answered further down in the comments.
