How to revert the Roblox website font! [Extension]

or just use Change font to old

There are some extensions or styles to change it back to Gotham, however, if you guys want to update the font in the app, then you have to go:

%appdata% > Local > Roblox > Versions > (current version folder) > content > fonts > families > BuilderSans.json

Update the json to this:

{
  "name": "Builder Sans",
  "faces": [
    {
      "name": "Thin",
      "weight": 100,
      "style": "normal",
      "assetId": "rbxasset://fonts/GothamSSm-Medium.otf"
    },
    {
      "name": "Light",
      "weight": 300,
      "style": "normal",
      "assetId": "rbxasset://fonts/GothamSSm-Medium.otf"
    },
    {
      "name": "Regular",
      "weight": 400,
      "style": "normal",
      "assetId": "rbxasset://fonts/GothamSSm-Book.otf"
    },
    {
      "name": "Medium",
      "weight": 500,
      "style": "normal",
      "assetId": "rbxasset://fonts/GothamSSm-Medium.otf"
    },
    {
      "name": "Semi Bold",
      "weight": 600,
      "style": "normal",
      "assetId": "rbxasset://fonts/GothamSSm-Medium.otf"
    },
    {
      "name": "Bold",
      "weight": 700,
      "style": "normal",
      "assetId": "rbxasset://fonts/GothamSSm-Medium.otf"
    },
    {
      "name": "Extra Bold",
      "weight": 800,
      "style": "normal",
      "assetId": "rbxasset://fonts/GothamSSm-Black.otf"
    }
  ]
}

yep, combined with the fact that it’s not even consistent with design, this font family was very clearly rushed due to the short notice from arial & gotham, fonts aren’t something you can rush and this is proof of that

ntm the fact my eyes are literally strained when i read text with this… you’re a lifesaver for this extension man thank you

there is a flag you can turn off to revert to gotham:

{FFlagEnableNewFontNameMappingABTest2: false}

Try out my new Stylish userstyle: Roblox Font Replacement v1 | Userstyles.org

Are yall actually creating Google plugins because of a FONT CHANGE :sob:

That FFlag might get removed soon after the full release.

that isnt the same font as the old one

Honestly, don’t like this font very much. The formatting looks terrible.

nope i like it as well

these people just are very vision impaired and clearly do not know how to use their eyes correctly

I feel like it’s just off-putting for many, especially those who didn’t realize that Roblox was changing the font, when suddenly a tiny detail gets changed and everything feels off.

And also, some may just not like the Builder font, which is fine. *

Pretty sure most people ( on the devforum, at least ) know how to use their eyes.

Honestly, I like Builder font, having become used to it. Whether I would’ve chosen it over the previous is debatable, but it’s a nice change.

Hi there! KinderHSPVA, if you didn’t know, has created an extension to revert the font change. Yay! Cheers to them.

Before extension activated:

After!:

Again, thank you so much to KinderHSPVA, go like their original post:

I don’t like how rude you are being in this thread. It is unnecessary. You don’t need to be mean to get your point across. I refused to reply anymore to replies before because I do not need to explain myself to you, and neither does anyone else. I am autistic and have sensory issues with certain fonts that can make certain websites hard to use. I have explained my sensory issues earlier in this post with less context, but I just wanted to go more in-depth here. These sensory issues can cause me to not be able to use websites simply because of things like, you guessed it, fonts. So there, you got it, the full story, the full reason. I wish I didn’t have it, and I can see by your negative replies to this post you don’t either. Insulting people was NEVER going to help.

Nobody likes change. That doesn’t invalidate them not liking it. Humans are designed to not like change, and that’s okay. We don’t need to put them down or make them feel like less for not liking it. I was okay with you guys disagreeing, and saying you like the font, until you starting using that to attack others for disagreeing. Also, some people can’t read certain fonts due to things like dyslexia, which is not a problem with the eyes.

And you can’t say that we started the argument either. The argument began with a negative reply insulting people who didn’t like the font. (I’m pretty sure there was one before this, too, that the OP deleted, which was also quite rude).

I wish I could close this post, but I need to keep it up in order to help anyone else who wants to revert this change. Because some people need it, and you don’t get to get mad at them for being uncomfortable with it.

Please, be kind. It’s not that hard to disagree with people without being an asshole. You don’t need to insult people to get the fact that you think the font looks okay across. Just say “I disagree”. And move on. And this also goes for the people attacking ones who disagree, by the way. Just be nice.

At first, this post wasn’t even supposed to be negative, just me noticing a cool change (notice how the original post never had any indication of anger from me?).

Instead of arguing on this thread, go help the new developers asking questions in #help-and-feedback ! Everybody, please have a nice day and remember to drink water!

EDIT: Sorry for so many edits, I just want to make sure this reply comes across clear. Thank you to all the people who stayed nice and refused to insult others in this thread! I think I may have gotten angry at times, I wont refuse that fact, and for that I am sorry. But I think I was just butthurt, and so were any other people in this thread who got angry. Getting butthurt is something we all, stubbornly, do. But it’s important to apologize for it.

EDIT: Final edit to respond more directly to the comments I didn’t want to reply to because I wasn’t in a good mood. I definitely got a bit aggressive in this post, but I’m not mad at people for disliking the font. I’m mad at people for choosing to keep this going. I’m mad at how people decided to treat this thread. Please. No more!

I will try to reply to anyone who thinks they have proof against some of my claims. I will try not to get too angry, but if I feel like I am, please understand if I don’t reply. Thank you!

I think @chaoscient says this better in their post, but some people actually do have vision impairments, like me. This is the entire discord front change all over again. Even with discord, it is hard to read their updated font, so I had to change it there.

We all have opinions, and it’s ok to have opinions, but there’s no need to be rude over those opinions.

It’s great that you like the new font, but as stated earlier, some people literally cannot read it due to actual medical reasons. Please be more considerate about those people, and don’t be rude just to be rude.

I hope you take into account what I said, and what @chaoscient said. Thank you :smiley:

It’s funny because I thought at first my firefox just broke the font or something… Little did I know it was a sitewide change. I find the font too light on the website, in my opinion.
