Font change?

Have you done something to the font today MN?

Mine has suddenly changed for all MN posts (all other sites are fine and unchanged).

Headers/footers and buttons appear the same but the active lists and all of the posts are suddenly showing in a different font.

Hi OP

Can we check what device and browser you're using?

Hi all

We've changed the font because the one we were using was causing performance issues - we're doing a lot of work at the moment to try and improve the speed of the site.

We're working through any issues the change causes for people on different devices, so please do keep posting anything you spot anything that doesn't seem right!

Sorry OP, that was my mistake!

Hi all

Thank you for the feedback - the colours meet WCAG 2.1 guidelines AAA in the majority of areas. Our font sizing abides by minimum browser guidelines.

Hey @IwantToRetire, 🙂

Just thought i’d jump in on this one so I can expand on the above.

So all browsers set out a guideline of what is the smallest (minimum) font you should be using when developing for different browsers and mobile vs web. So for example in Google’s material design guide, Google Chrome is 16px. We also receive reports of any accessibility issues from Google which we solve as they come in. These flag any areas in which the font and colour combinations might be an accessibility risk.

When using colours, we use WCAG 2.1 guidelines and try to meet AAA rating in the majority of areas. In the few areas we don’t meet AAA rating (contrast rating of 7), we meet AA rating (contrast rating of 3.5).

If you have any questions about this let me know 🙂

Hey @IwantToRetire,
