No problem with a boot environment that preceded the update: n247798-f39dd6a9784-b I created, activated then booted a new environment: n247798-f39dd6a9784-c – ran `pkg upgrade`, rebooted, started Thunderbird, observed something wrong with fonts, started Firefox, observed a recurrence of symptoms that are associated with Mozilla bug 1695575. Maybe most significant: * normally (with my preferences) a monospace font is used for the URL in the address bar * after updating fontconfig from 2.13.93,1 to 2.13.93_1,1 a different font was used for the URL in the address bar and (Mozilla bug 1695575) the user interface became 'too wide'. Temporary workaround – package locked ===================================== I rebooted n247798-f39dd6a9784-b, locked fontconfig to 2.13.93,1. Created, activated then booted a new environment: n247798-f39dd6a9784-d – ran `pkg upgrade`, rebooted. Fonts appear OK in Thunderbird and Firefox. Environment =========== FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT. What other information will help?
Created attachment 226328 [details] Firefox bugged with fontconfig 2.13.93_1,1 The scroll bar is out of sight, and so on.
Created attachment 226329 [details] A non-cropped, greyscale version of the preceding screenshot On the screen to the right: KDE Plasma system settings for fonts.
Created attachment 226330 [details] A log of the pkg upgrade that led to the problem
Created attachment 226331 [details] Firefox as it should appear With the workaround – package locked before `pkg upgrade` – fonts appear correct: * in the address bar * in the menu bar * at the head of the sidebar * in the titles of tabs presented by the Tree Style Tab extension to Firefox.

Created attachment 226563 [details] Firefox bugged with 2.13.93,1 With the package still locked down to 2.13.93,1 I found Firefox bugged again after experimenting with changes to Plasma preferences for fonts. Assuming that the toolbar font is relevant, in this shot it is: Noto Sans 10 pt
Created attachment 226564 [details] Firefox bugged with 2.13.93,1 with Sans Serif 10 pt for the toolbar More changes to fonts, Firefox remained bugged. In this shot, for the toolbar, my preference was: Sans Serif 10 pt
Created attachment 226565 [details] Better after preferring Ubuntu Mono 10 pt for the toolbar With a preference for Ubuntu Mono 10: Firefox appeared better, and remained so after I unlocked fontconfig and allowed an upgrade to 2.13.93_1,1. Still, things are not as they should be; the title bars of windows do not use my preferred font.
I'm closing this as "overcome" because we're several fontconfig and firefox releases down the road. I think for this kind of issues we really need a "do exactly this to configure fonts" followed by screenshots with BIG RED ARROWS. Preferably the same situation in bug and non-bug situations, with BIG RED ARROWS pointing at the bug parts. In the "Firefox bugged" screenies in this PR I can't even find Firefox.
