At this point it looks like Memrise is trolling us. New font? Make it harder to read, that will teach them wanting to use our site.

No, you do not have eye problems. Yes, the fonts for Chinese was changed as well (AFAIK).

I don’t take the Japanese courses for English speakers, but take the opposit - courses for Japanese speakers. I came here to look for an update announcement and found your post. The same typographical change occurred to the Memrise official courses for Japanese speakers, ie from Gothic (non-serif fonts) to Mincho (serif). The Mincho font used looks a bit flimsy and faint (especially when the font size is smaller). The use of Gothic font is clear cut and preferred.

Hate the new fonts. The old fonts had a really cool style to them. I really hate all the changes they keep making to this site.

If anybody realize if and how is possible to go back to the previously adopted style… that would be great.

Seems either bug or a feature (i.e. Intended change).
Also one more report here
@BeaTrisy: is this a bug or intended?
PS: you are using the web right, or did it also happen in the Apps? Just to confirm.

i use web, chrome browser… where was worst than on firefox
Why move these threads to bugs? i’m sure most of us are aware that they aren’t a bug, but a change of font and and some other change that made userstyle scripts not work correctly anymore
Not a bug.
I had the same problem with Korean fonts. Very annoying.
You can resolve the problem by adding the “advanced font settings” chrome extension and choosing your own font.

Awesome I was looking for something like this! The font they were using prior to the update is “Open Sans (san-serif)” I do believe.

Well, I see, you see it more like feature or normal behavior than a bug. Though, it was a better readable font before, right? Two users report it across two different languages around the same time - doesn’t seem to be a user induced change.
Suggestion:
If you have a font problem problem, it might be easier to install that particular language and it’s keyboard in Windows Settings (or Control Panel). That way you don’t need to download stuff, and you know your system is standard, which gives a bigger chance of success, with less surprises. That’s what I always do, and all these scripts (Chinese etc) read fine on my Win10 (usually using Chrome) by default. Hope this helps.
Using the web! Soory for answering late
I have problems too with that new font. It confuses me and it’s harder to read. I’m tired of having to make changes every time a bad memrise designer has one of his “great” ideas. Please, bring back the old one -.-
