The new font changed some of my posts lines/paragraph from 3 to 4 which broke their readability.

I'm planning to be able to force a custom font from the client-side if I need a quick-fix of readability.

What was the name of the font Stack Overflow was using just the other day before?

    Depends on your OS. It used to map to Arial on my Windows machine. The font that every designer must love to hate. Commented Jan 16, 2015 at 13:40

    hm, an archive says Arial,Liberation Sans,DejaVu Sans,sans-serif. some random other settings word-wrap: break-word; font-size: 107%; width: 660px; line-height: 130%; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; Commented Jan 16, 2015 at 14:43
  • it seems the 107% font-size resulted in 13.7px for me in previously... Commented Jan 16, 2015 at 14:49

    It would be wonderful if you made an extension to rollback some parts of the design, like bold question titles and the font! Commented Jan 16, 2015 at 15:18

    I suspect Jin would know this because he was the one that 'broke' it :P (He works on the design team for Stack Exchange) Commented Jan 19, 2015 at 15:55
