Italic

Post by beetlenaut »

Why is a lot of the forum in italic font now? I assumed it was a mistake and waited a couple days, but it's still showing up like that on two different browsers, even if I clear the cache. Can we get it fixed please? It's harder to read. Thanks.

Huh. I didn't install any fonts, drivers, updates or anything, and suddenly, this website had a different font face. And this is the only website with a different font face. That really doesn't sound like a problem at my end, so what the heck is going on?
This is what it looks like now.

I get italic with Firefox 60 and Chrome 67 on openSUSE leap 15. Did the site change anything two or three days ago? phpBB update, stylesheet tweak? Something is different.

Edit: Okay, so hearing that the problem must be on my side (whatever the cause), I was able to fix it. I inspected the code and found out that Verdana is the preferred font for the elements that had turned italic, so I found that and installed it. Now everything looks fine. :|
