Since installing OS X El Capitan version 10.11 the font in Dictionary app and widget has changed from the old Baskerville style font to a plain, boring Helvetica style. It's ugly and spacious and very un-apple.
How can I get the old font back?

The new Dictionary font is San Francisco. It's fine as a system UI font but not the best choice for more extended reading, including dictionary definitions. Just posting this now because I just upgraded to Sierra. If anyone knows how to switch the font, please let me & Jesper know!

Just did a little digging, and the strange thing is that the DefaultStyle.css file in the app's Resources folder still specifies Baskerville, just as it has in past versions – in fact the entire file is identical to the one in Yosemite – but Dictionary's not using it, even though I do have it on my system.
So my first question is: Is this really the new dictionary font for everyone on Sierra, or is this a problem that's just showing up for me and Jesper?
My second question is, if it is specific to me, how can I fix it? I've tried disabling and reenabling Baskerville but that didn't help.
