No, this isn't a Eccles query.

Has the ship just changed its font? It has on my computer (using Chrome) and no other webpage has. It's not a problem, I quite like the new one, just wondering.

Looks the same as ever here (iPad/Safari). Fonts are usually locally determined, so perhaps your 'puter has decided that this is the nearest it's got to the Carolingian minuscule (or whatever the Ship is rendered in).

This particular page source says:
code:
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9pt;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

etc.

So your web browser selects either one of the named fonts or what it is indicated to select in its sans-serif font setting AFAIK. These can be sometimes over ruled within the operating system.

We haven't changed any font settings as far as I know.

Fonts should be selected in the order in the code. So it will select Verdana first, and if that is not available Helvetica and if that is not availabe your local available sans serif font.
