Serif / sans-serif is OK, but what you had was a weirdo font that would leave you cross-eyed if you would have to read an entire page of it.

Since it wasn't a body font, that's not really an issue. I thought it looked good for some pages, but the medieval style didn't feel right for every game, and it didn't feel right for headings below the game description, such as Credits or Comments.

What you have now is at least a neutral typeface without any unnecessary curves and corners, and is much, much better IMO.

I agree. I really like Catamaran. It is much more neutral, similar to Helvetica or Arial, which makes it more suitable for a wider variety of games and headings. I also like that it more distinctive than Helvetica or Arial, and it seems appropriate that this font, like Chaturanga, is of Indian origin.
