Are you using Firefox within a flatpak perchance ?

There seems to be a bug to it relating to use of bitmap fonts, you can fix the issue by disabling them via a config file in firefox’s fonts: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621915

Thank you, worked like a charm.

I have a similar problem, but on Lemmy.zip (Lemmy.world looks fine). However, I am running Fedora Kinoite (immutable), where Firefox is not installed as Flatpak.

Shihali,

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), bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621915, and implementing the solution mentioned by user, Pablo:

Kusimulkku,

Ah, flatpak shenanigans

Bruh, I read “font” as “front” in title and was confused as to why you were listing your os specs

Back in the day, debian used to render fonts badly to avoid a potential patent trap. Is that still a thing?

cmnybo,

All of the ClearType patents are expired, so that’s not an issue anymore. OP probably just has anti-aliasing turned off for some reason.

elbarto777,

No.

I’m getting old, it seems. Kids these days probably don’t even have to configure modlines in XFree86. Sheesh. ;)

I use and recommend the Alexandrite UI a.lemmy.world

mmababes,

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.

Try a.lemmy.world

mmababes,

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?

You can also try p.lemmy.world as well.

You could start with using dark reader

otter,

I think Lemmy has themes too

I try to use the built in darkmode because dark reader got sluggish on some sites. Then I whitelist it on the sites that I need to

Jumuta,

i hated dark reader because it only works like 70% of the time, and often it doesn’t even look that good.
