We get so many questions about this on Discord ("I changed my font but it's not showing on my site") that I think it makes sense to change this so the behavior is more intuitive.
Could probably call this a breaking change, but it would literally only affect people who had changed
font-sans
to a different font but wanted the system UI font to be the default font for their site (only using thefont-sans
class in select places to purposely deviate from the system font occasionally).I think I feel comfortable betting $500 that that is literally nobody. I think in hindsight the two most intuitive behaviors for this are:
sans-serif
by default, so when they look at dev tools at least it's obvious that it's not that their change tofont-sans
isn't taking effect, sincesans-serif
doesn't match the value they were trying to change either.
