How to revert the default font change yesterday? This new default font is ugly and messes w/ format

[Andrew Nyland]

I've looked all around the organization settings pages and such and don't see a way to change the default font. The one that was active until today was fine (could've been better, but no complaints there) but the one that is active today is rough, at best.

It messes with formatting of most of our tables and is harder to read.

How can I revert the font option for the entire organization?

Hi @Andrew Nyland ,

Are we talking about typography changes? I mean, can you maybe share any examples of before/now of what's changed?

I know there were some changes announced back in January about fonts, icons, and such > read more here: Confluence is getting a visual refresh 
Now, this cannot be changed and is published to all sites/instances as stated.

I'm unaware if there have been/are any other related updates underway.

Cheers,
Tobi

Not sure what you mean by examples, but the first listed font in font-family for most of the document UI elements changed from ui-sans-serif to Atlassian Sans. It broke formatting for most of our tables (we use them for radio protocol definitions) and now bolded Normal body text is larger than most of the headers.

Yeah it sounds system wide, I'm just going to try to set a network rule to block that font family from being downloaded. Wish they'd done better testing - I can forgive opinion differences, but when it breaks provided formatting that's a different story.

Cheers.

I’d recommend raising a ticket about you table formatting with Atlassian support, get them to fix it

@Andrew Nyland , yeah, unfortunately, you can see things like these sometimes in the ecosystem.

As Kieren pointed out, the best bet would be reaching out to Atlassian Support to see what they have to say about this (and if there are any 'fixes' that they can make related to your issue).
