This test has now been made the default option. The old system will be available for a while here.

Last night I noticed the texts got larger on the site all of a sudden. So large in fact I can't see all the buttons on the main page. I don't know if you changed the default letters or what but now its too big :P

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Try reloading the page or (if you have IE 8) click on compatability view.

I'm using Firefox, and I haven't had any problems with it.

You've probably run firefox 3.0.x rather than 3.5.x that would cause that issue.

Go to the URL bar and enter about:config and press return. Ignore the warning about dragons and proceed to the next screen. Enter 'browser.display.use_document_fonts' into the filter box. What is the 'Value' associated with this Name? It should be 1. If it is 0 then you (or some random plug-in you have installed, or some setting you have adjusted) has blocked the font from being downloaded for use with the site.

Firefox 3.0.x does not support downloading of fonts along with web pages. If, however, you had downloaded the font from the home page and added it to your system 3.0.x would have worked fine. I've recently removed the font from the home page as modern browsers do not need you to perform this step. The font is called Anderson Supercar.

Then that is why it ever worked in 3.0.x. However, it doesn't explain why it stopped working now. Try downloading 3.5.2 and see what happens?

This setting still applies to pages that do not download fonts. It needs to be set at 1 if you wish the page to specify what font it should use. If it's set to 0 then it will decide which font it wants to display the page using.
