In your user preferences ([Discourse Meta - The Official Support Forum for Discourse](http://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/interface)) there’s a `text size` option, selecting `smaller` should help.

The reason for the change was to better adhere to accessibility guidelines. For example, someone with vision issues might want to increase their browser’s font size. The expectation is that this would make font sizes larger for all content viewed in the browser. The way we had previously defined fonts ignored browser level font-size adjustments completely.
