Hello, when I returned to the DevForum after the planned maintenance, I noticed that the Vincent theme on the DevForum has a different font.
Also experiencing this. It seems intentional.
It definetely doesn’t use Helvetica, it uses Arial.
On the left is Arial, on the right is Helvetica.
Can you provide more info? I don’t see any difference between the themes before/after the update, so repro steps would be nice to have here
I just went onto the forum after the maintenance ended. I didn’t change any settings, it was in a different font right when I came back.
Multiple users have reported the issue. Both on mobile and PC.
Both me and @Ondrashek06 are using the Vincent theme
If this is a bug with just the Vincent theme, please report it with the theme author: Discourse Vincent theme - theme - Discourse Meta
Note that the theme is in the “broken-theme” category though, so I’m not sure if it’s still maintained. If it is not, we would probably end up removing it from the forum.
People have also reported font issues with the standard light/dark themes, not just Vincent.
Can you check if this happens for you on meta.discourse.org, if yes then you can report it directly to Discourse there, if not it would be great if you could provide any more details.
It doesn’t happen on Meta, only on here. What details should I provide for example?
EDIT: Seems like the issue was fixed on here, I am getting no issues with the default theme on here.
It’s still happening with the vincent theme though.
Another thing is that even before the maintenance, when the page was first loaded, it appeared using Arial font for a split second before getting replaced with Source Sans Pro.
The font issue is a .font-helvetica class on the html element being more specific than vincent’s CSS rule for the html element, which results in Vincent’s font getting overridden. Presumably Discourse changed this recently. If you’re very bothered, it can be fixed by using this CSS in a custom stylesheet with a browser extension.
html {
font-family: "Assistant", sans-serif !important;
}
If you look at the video it looks kinda funky
It’s still happening with the default light and dark theme, on mobile this time.
Edit: this is with the stock dark theme:
I kinda like this font. It kinda matches the theme. I’d suggest keep it.
AFAIK they use the default light/dark mode, so this should probably be reported on discourse meta
