I changed the font on the forum, but the font for chat isn’t the same as that. How would I go about changing that? Thanks.

Oh good question, looks like we use a different font for chat in a couple places:
>
>
For now these can be overridden using CSS:
```scss
.full-page-chat,
.chat-drawer-outlet-container {
font-family: var(--font-family); // Discourse default, can change to whatever
}
```
@chapoi do you know if there’s a reason we don’t use the default fonts for chat?

Hm, that has been setup before me, but I don’t think there’s a specific reason for it. Will make a change to it after checking to be sure.
Update: this has been fixed, chat will use the same font now. Thanks for pointing it out!
