Odd. Maybe you should hit Ctrl+F5 to completely clear the cache for
Launchpad.

I'm actually glad they're only specifying 'sans-serif' as the font,
which now gives me the ability to set my personal favourite sans-serif
font as the font for the site, rather than Trebuchet, which was
hard-coded in.

If you don't like Helvetica, then in Firefox, go to Edit > Preferences
(or whatever it is on OS X) > Content. Then, in the Fonts & Colours
section, click Advanced. In the sans-serif box, select Trebuchet MS. OK,
Close, Refresh. Email $50 via PayPal to me. :)
