Today I noticed that the font on the My Characters tab has changed from the "standard" sans serif text to a serif font resembling Times New Roman.
This isn't a "bug" and to a very large extent is not a major issue. I've encountered several genuine bugs recently that actually prevented the site from being usable (or at least reduced its usability); this is far from that level of importance. Still, I'm not even going to lie: This made my skin crawl more than could possibly be reasonable. Aesthetically, it's just so jarring compared to the rest of the site.
Does anyone know why the decision was taken to change the font? My first impulses were that it could've been a licensing issue with the previous font - but most of the site still uses sans serif font, so even if this particular bit used a different font that is no longer available to the devs, the devs would seem to have access to better options for replacement.
I'm still seeing the correct font. Most likely something prevented the site's CSS file from fully loading. Most browsers set the default font as Times or something similar, and I've seen DDB do this before when there have been site loading issues.
