Are these new fonts?

I haven't seen anyone discuss it (and MetaSearch is down) so I'll just ask: did we get new fonts during the downtime?

No, no new fonts. Though after we came back up there was an issue with saving your font preference in your user profile. (On save an apostrophe was appended to the font name.) I cleaned all those up, and saving your preferred font works now. So you can click Preferences above and set the font of your choice.

You'll want to check your preferences, as that's where the site's font is set.

If I ever attacted MetaFilter, I'd change everyone's font to Comic Sans.

Does this font make my username look big?

It's not the font that's changed, it's you.

The font change is invisible to anyone who is stupid or unfit for his position.

No, dersins, -t means 'crumpets'.
