Have you noticed anything different about your Facebook account today?Foreign Archives No? Squint and look just a little closer.
Based on a scattering of tweets, Facebook appears to be testing out new fonts across its platform. And like Geneva, the font that the social media giant began trying out last year, the new fonts are not a Facebook creation.

That, of course, is speculation. However, one thing is not: Facebook is finally testing a change that is more than just another Snapchat ripoff.
