It is intended, yep. Here's the patch note for reference:
UI Font Rendering
The game now uses a new UI font rendering system. This allows for future improvements to the game and provides small enhancements in some specific situations, such as nameplates and chat bubbles.
Addon creators can find a new tool, slugfont.exe, in the game directory that allows them to update their use of custom fonts to be compatible with the new system. Addons that make use of custom fonts will instead use default fonts until they receive an update, and fonts included with the game will continue to work without requiring an update. Instructions are provided in slugfont_readme.txt.
It burns! What have you done to the selection screen. Why is it so....orange?It's just the Gold Road background, right? Not like... an entirely orange tint to everything?
