Anyone else experiencing this and how do I change it, as modifying the font settings in Chromium-based Edge has no effect and the same output occurs in FireFox? I'm unsure what update could have resulted in this and no manual changes to the system font/appearance has occurred:

    It's related to the recent font changes on SE - but I can't find the meta post discussing it.

  • @DavidPostill Is there any way to override it? Not sure if it helps, but Android still displays it correctly, both as a mobile site and viewing as a desktop site.

    meta.stackexchange.com/a/364881/135565 is the meta post. @JW0914 was there a recent platform update? I think that's what triggered off the issue on mine.

The font is system specific. So the font on Android will inherently look different on Windows.

Windows continues to get Segoe, but we drop system-ui since it isn’t quite ready for primetime.

Android gets Roboto, but we don’t specify it since it was clobbering Debian

I'm unsure what update could have resulted in this and no manual changes to the system font/appearance has occurred:

It wasn’t a Windows update, it was a network wide Stack Exchange change, that happened on May 11th 2021
