Smooth update, except font-size

Thanks all for the amazingly painless upgrade to 25.1. No real performance issues here and love the direction forward with more clear branding, however,
The updated font-size of body makes text appear stretched and very difficult to read, noticeably in every area of the web UI.

Setting body font-size back to 14px from 15px fixes this and restores the aesthetic of the old UI, allowing it to feel copacetic and inviting once again.

Tested on 1080p and 1440p monitors and both share this issue.

Anyone else experience/notice this?

Thanks for your feedback. I'm passing this on.

Which browser/OS are you using BTW?

For me it's not general text but headers/emphasized that are a bit hard to read. Suboptimal choice of font or a problem with Safari on Mac OS?

Apart from that absolutely painless upgrade, thank you very much.

I run Firefox on Xubuntu, display 1920x1200.  I find if I shrink my browser's rendering (ctrl-scroll down) to 90%, the typeface is easier to read.

Experienced on both Windows 11 and Arch Linux, Firefox v134.
I've also been setting browser render to 90% as a temporary workaround for the time being as mentioned in another post.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this. Interestingly enough I'm not experiencing your issue to that degree. In my case the text seems more vertically stretched depending on the viewport the text exists within. Attached are how services widget and unbound settings appear for me. Browser rendering set to 100% for these screenshots, taken within Linux Firefox v134.

Upon further examination, the rendering appears different on the Windows 11 Firefox v134 compared to the Linux Firefox v134 which does more closely resemble the prior mentioned rendering on Safari.

Attached are the same areas with 100% browser rendering on Windows 11 Firefox v134 for comparison
