change back the block font

if you have seen the editor recently, you may have noticed that the blocks look extremely “unnatural” and feel off, this is because they changed the font to some sort of really uncanny feeling font, that feels as if they got a robot to make it. i suggest to change back the font to the original because the original feels more natural and feels happy. also the new font is kinda buggy

also forum blocks havent been infected by this new font yet

This feels so opinion based. Honestly I can’t tell the difference. No support

i used the inspect element to view the font family of both the editor blocks and the forum blocks, they both use Helvetica Neue. do you have Helvetica or Helvetica Neue installed on your computer?

I think they changed the font to make the text more easyer to read, I'm fine with the update. No support.

i no support your no support because you are supposed to use no support when you HATE a suggestion. if you dont care about an suggestion, you are supposed to leave it alone

Why was there a new font? It's not because it is how it would look in Japanese!

No, I don't think it was supposed to be intentional. They added it on an issue tracker on GitHub

Then that's why you don't have the problem
They accidentally changed for people who don't have Helvetica Neue, and you can see that it's Segoe UI now for a lot of people
