    @Ano As a general rule, give the people working on it a chance to post an answer. I don't need an immediate ping. ;)

Fixed now, sorry it took so long. We're currently working on making our CSS more maintainable, but during work like that, ten years1 of technical front-end debt sometimes come back to bite you in the rear.

    I hope you have enough rear left then to be bitten in ...

    As of right now, NOT COMPLETELY FIXED in ELU; comment editor is using Georgia. Commented Feb 14, 2018 at 14:08
  • @JeffZeitlin AFAIK the comment editor always has been using a proportional font.

  • @Glorfindel - yes, but the font that it used always seemed to be the same font that the comments appear in - which is a sans-serif font for ELU, but the comment editor right now is using Georgia, the serif font used for questions and answers, but not comments. Commented Feb 14, 2018 at 14:21
  • Thanks for making StackOverflow usable again.
