Is it just me or has Dakka got a new font over the past couple of hours?

I have also noticed the 'go' button replaced with 'pg#' which I think was a good decision as few people knew of 'go'.

Yeah, I must say that I think I preferred the previous font overall.

I agree, I'll probably get used to it though.

I, for one, welcome our new font overlords. (Hadn't noticed tbh)

Although I did notice, and approve of, pg# replacing go. I never associated go with go to page... strange, but true.

Hadn't noticed either, though did notice the replacement of go which is nice.

Must only be for the new theme.

Font change does not affect 'Classic - Grey/Gold'

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Lego, on a similar note, are we likely to see an overhaul of the worksafe theme to bring it in-line with the new Dakka theme? Most of the recent Dakka changes have passed me by somewhat because I use the worksafe theme (I find it easier to read)

I thought I noticed a change. I looked at it earlier and thought there was something different, but assumed it was just me.

I like it!

There will be gradual updates of the worksafe theme to bring it inline with the main theme. Bit by bit though so that people dont complain about too much change too quickly.

This new font is very annoying, i have to lean back to read the larger font properly.

Its not too noticeable once you're in the thread, numbers at the bottom look a bit weird though. It is, however, very noticeable in the "My Subscribed Threads" page.

To those who say that they hate the new font, can you take some screenshots of the worst areas just so I can make sure nothing odd is happening on certain configurations please?

I'm used to it now, it's still a little annoying how much space things take up (especially in the little user information section next to posts) but in general it doesn't really bother me much.

Here you go...

The font just looks really spread out on mine, maybe my laptop screen is too wide

Hmm both screenshots are from Chrome - I wonder if it's a Chrome rendering issue? Can't say I have noticed anything on Firefox (but then again I have only briefly switched to the new theme to check - I normally use worksafe theme).
