GitHub now uses default system font(github.com)

    We're not using relative units in any place save for our Markdown files (to make our rendered Markdown scale easily for mobile, issue comments, and readmes/blobs).

    The few cases of misaligned icons are being fixed as bugs. Overall, we haven't seen too much funkiness across the browsers as the main system fonts are pretty similar size-wise.

      Thanks for the response, that's super interesting. I assumed the vertical metrics would be very different, but didn't bother to check.

      Are the misaligned icon issues font agnostic, or are you having to find a way to make font-specific fixes?

        Most are agnostic to any particular font. Haven't run into anything egregious that would require browser-specific overrides yet.
