Is it just me or does the font on Bus suddenly look different today?!

It looks the same as always to me.

Looks the same to me too. Are there any particular parts that look weird? Did you change some settings recently? Have you emptied your cache? Restarted the browser? Restarted the computer? Made some tea? Those are things techy people always seem to suggest first. Well, maybe not the tea.

Tea is always good though!
It seems to be when I'm looking at posts, not so much the main index page. Just noticed it today for whatever reason. I haven't changed anything (that I know of) and I even tried to check in my User Control Panel. I may try emptying the cache later though.
Edit
Cleared the cache. Didn't make a difference.

Tea rocks

.
If you want to do a complete cache-clear you could think about installing Cclearner (
https://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER). It is available in both Windows and MacOS versions. I run it once a week or so.
It does a better job than the "in house" versions of cache-clear but (important) it will zap all of your pre-saved passwords (eg, the one that you use to log onto BUS) so make sure that you know what they all are before you run it.

one thing that has happened to me a few times is accidentally zooming in or out. on firefox you can press ctrl-0 to reset the zoom level.
maybe there was a browser update that shifted things slightly?

if you're using chrome, i'm pretty sure it's a chrome thing because it looks different for me, too, and the font on all websites looks different. i don't know if there's a way to change that, though.

Yeah, I meant to come back and say it's likely a Chrome thing because I use Chrome as well and other websites have been looking similar too.

Same here - whether I use Chrome or Firefox BUS (and many other sites) look unchanged to me.

it might depend on whether or not your Chrome has updated itself? because my version is 38.something or other beta, and that's when it changed...
