Looks like Admin Powers Abuse Week is in full swing:

Are you sure you didn't affect something on your local computer? Mine looks the same.

Did you install anything that would come with fonts recently?

Don't worry. I was on a school computer, and the monitoring software that they use changed the font when they were monitoring me.

I actually like the appearance. I don't have FiraSans on my laptop, but it seems to fallback to droidsans, which I like even more!
But the kerning looks awful..

FiraSans should be downloaded by your browser and then use that. What browser are you using?

Opera 12.16 on openSUSE 12.3 x86_64.
Or could it just be that Firasans looks almost exactly like DroidSans (including the kerning and other letter spacing issues)?

Edit: Tried in Firefox (25). Everything seems to be twice as big now and the font looks bold AND awful.
What did you do?

It could just be that Opera doesn't like fonts. You'd have to look at what font is actually being used in the debug tools.

Damn, the font changed. Some text is still in Verdana, so it looks pretty weird and disproportionate.

Now almost everything is twice as large, bold and a really ugly font..
