The question title font has changed. It is no longer Trebuchet MS but is now Helvetica. Is this normal, or is there a problem?
Edit (11/22/2011): The font was reverted to Trebuchet MS. Why was the font changed to begin with?

Close. It appears to be 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif (Arial is a fallback)
Apparently badp thinks it changed also
(I'm sure there's a way to tell if it changed. Besides asking Jin, of course)
I did find a way to find out besides asking Jin... I asked Tim Stone :-D According to him,
h1{font-family:Trebuchet MS,Liberation Sans,DejaVu Sans,sans-serif;font-weight:bold;font-size:170%;margin-bottom:7px;}
Was the old h1 definition
I still am not sure why it matters, though... :-)

1It matters because some of us get used to things like fonts! Typography is a big deal in UI. Nov 16, 2011 at 13:10
Looks deliberate from the stylesheets, and it affects a few other areas too.
If you don't like it and you're running Firefox, add this to your userContent.css:
@-moz-document domain(stackoverflow.com) {
h1, h2, h3 a.question-hyperlink, input[type=button], input[type=submit] {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS" !important;
}
}

There doesn't appear to be anything mentioned specifically in the Recent Changes list...but really, little things change regularly...
