I don't know how or why, but when I opened subeta this morning, the font had changed to a horrible tiny and hard-to-read one and looks now like this:

SPOILER (click to toggle)

I'm using the latest chrome version, didn't change anything on it. I've made a hard refresh and checked if I zoomed in (ctrl+0) - nothing changed. I've checked in firefox and the font is absolutely fine there, only in chrome it's changed and all wrong.

I also noticed that I can't preview my posts when opening a new thread, hitting 'preview post' doesn't do anything.

Checking this out in Chrome now and the font does seem a bit smaller to me. Also kinda blurry? It's not as smooth looking here as it is in Firefox.

Preview button doesn't work when creating a topic in either browser. I think this has been an issue for a lot longer.

Okay, I thought it was just me. My friend feed and the forum thread titles have been small for ages. I ruled it off to just Subeta's usual.

Yup, I made a thread about this awhile back and it was locked for being not on Subeta's end but it still has never fixed itself and I've had tho use Firefox for weeks now because the font in Chrome hurts my eyes

this, unfortunately, is a chrome issue, and was an intentional change. there's really nothing subeta can do to help it, as it was a change in the browser itself. i drove myself crazy trying to fix it, but i have yet to even find some kind of extension to switch it back.

my only advice is to go into your settings and increase the minimum font size (settings > show advanced settings > customize fonts), but that still leaves the weird blurry issue that unfortunately you've just gotta get used to.

that, or use firefox. but i'm not about that, personally.

Oddly, I'm using chrome and I don't have the font size change or the blurriness - which I'm glad for and hopefully my chrome won't change.

But how is it possible that it changed without an update? My chrome version hasn't changed, it's only on subeta - all other sites are completely fine. And how comes, that not all have that issue using chrome?

Is there a way to change the font of subeta with a custom css as workaround? This font is so tiny, it hurts my eyes.

I had the same trouble after Chrome updated a while ago (a few weeks - a month something like that, I was hoping it would change back with a future update, but I've now got Chrome 38.0.2125.101 and it's still the same) :(

Here's the customCSS I added in to try and make things a bit more bearable:

body {font-family: verdana!important; font-size:12px!important;} .ui.grid>.column, .ui.grid>.row>.column {font-family: verdana!important; font-size:12px!important;}

input, button, select, textarea {font-family: Verdana!important;} .sidebar-inner-events, .sidebar-inner-events a, .sidebar-widget-contents p, .sidebar-widget-contents a, .x-js-events .sidebar-widget-contents p, -notepad-content, .x-js-events .sidebar-widget-contents a { font-size: 12px!important; font-family: verdana!important;} } .menu-btn a.item {font-size:16px!important;} .menu-tab, bookmark a {font-size:16px!important;}

.menu-btn ul li a {font-size:12px!important;} .nav-tabs a {font-size:12px!important;}

.ui a, .ui .message { font-size: 12px!important; font-family: verdana!important;} }

.column { font-size: 13px!important; font-family: verdana!important;} }

It's not perfect by any means, but it should make it readable without giving you a headache :)

Sorry for the big pings! Wanted to give you a little update on the issue since some of you have the same problem.

I've checked the chrome support forum and it seems, the font issue is a problem with the latest version 38.0.2125.101 - if you update to this version it may "break" and fiddle around with your fonts on chrome. Some have bigger fonts, others smaller, and others have their font changed completely on some websites. The bug should be fixed with one of the next updates until then we have to wait. I've downloaded the Chrome Canary (development version) and the bug is already fixed in the latest version. I hope the fix will be pushed to chrome soon.

Thanks for all the help =)

Since this is a chrome issue and not Subeta, I am going to close this up!
