Moderators Augeas Posted September 11, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2009 Why do they do these things? I hate change! Yesterday the Google font size in the web search box increased. I first blamed CC as I had run it recently, then I spent some time looking for an option to return it to its normal, friendly familiar size, and then ran a fulll virus scan. Today I Googled this and I find that it's a Google change and you. or we. will just have to live with it. My eyesight's not brilliant but this is just baby font. It doesn't seem to affect Google Image or other searches, just the Web search, and only the search box. http://www.ghacks.net/2009/09/10/did-googl...-google-search/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted September 11, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2009 So is it the size issue with it being big, or is it the font style that you don't like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted September 11, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2009 Both. It's possibly the same font, it just looks babyish when it's larger. Do you get the new font? All over the world people are bashing their pc's thinking they have a fault. It's not life or death, just annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay3800 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Here's the official announcement from Google: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/now...-e-r-sized.html It doesn't bother me much one way or the other, but it did look a little better with the smaller font.

Fluffy Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Augeas I`m with you on that..if they allowed you to make a change if you wanted too OK(like you need a bigger font for poor eyesight etc.,) but it`s when they do something and then tell you it`s for your benefit because they want to improve customer service,aarrggh !!! Ebay have done that with your summary page "Let us know what you think " well I did and I do`nt think they liked it Its like someone using your computer and changing the home page,wallpaper and desk top !!! Moan over thankyou !!! F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted September 12, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 12, 2009 Had the Google font never been mentioned I would've actually never known to be honest. Either way they have it I don't care because I use it via Firefox where it's built in. @Fluffy Those are some funny pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
