    Now I have a new advert showing, this time with georgia font:

    [​IMG]

    Source of the ad shows:

    font-family:georgia,serif;

    A tad better than Comic-Sans-MS but not matching my site. They really must be playing around.

    Again got the comic sans Ms ads on my site, they look really unprofessional! instead of one in a thousand they seem to be one in two hundred in my case.

    I never seen that before... it looks pretty ugly in my opinion though.

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the reports of Adsense reports not updating today?
    Either way, I think it would be great if we had some other font options, but I definitely hope it is under the control of the webmaster, and Google is not going to change the default font.

    Yup, same issue keeps coming back here. it's been going on for several days now, the strange fonts are appearing more and more often imho...


    by my knowledge there is no way to choose what font is to be used in your design... sure it jumps out of the page a lot more and could result in a higher ctr... but i really don't like the way it's looking:

    No, I haven't seen this font. But I have seen a change in font sizes. Presumably they're testing a new design.

    Haven't noticed this before, but it would be nice if we had control over the font styles for sure. Actually not giving us control would be unreasonable in every way.

    I assume that the fonts on the ads changed for post/page which has high visits.
