I just switched from Ubuntu 23.10 to Debian 12 (using X11) if that helps. I didn’t have this problem in Ubuntu.
From your other responses, this is a system issue not a problem with the website.
Lemmy.world’s code has this font list for sans-serif: system-ui,-apple-system,“Segoe UI”,Roboto,“Helvetica Neue”,“Noto Sans”,“Liberation Sans”,Arial,sans-serif,“Apple Color Emoji”,“Segoe UI Emoji”,“Segoe UI Symbol”,“Noto Color Emoji”
I’d use the dev tools to check which font is being rendered. I’m on Windows so I get Segoe UI, which I find entirely acceptable.
Fixed the issue by going tothis link (posted by @Tzeentch), https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621915, and implementing the solution mentioned by user, Pablo:
Ah, flatpak shenanigans
Bruh, I read “font” as “front” in title and was confused as to why you were listing your os specs
I use and recommend the Alexandrite UI https://a.lemmy.world
The font issue is affecting other websites I go to as well.
I installed the mscorefonts (sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer) but still having this issue.
You can also try p.lemmy.world as well.
I’m having the same issue on other sites as well (not all but some). Does this have something to do with Frefox and MS fonts?
