Originally reported as <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1729109> bugging two installations of FreeBSD (14.0-CURRENT, 13.0-RELEASE-p4) … … I'm not yet able to make it reproducible with betas of Firefox 92 on Linux. The screen recording at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1729109#c4> might be the best introduction to this bug; note the appearance of Comic Neue (not preferred by Firefox) in the Firefox view of the GitHub page.
In the Firefox subreddit, <https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/phhvve/-/> was posted around forty-two hours ago with the intention of discovering whether any Linux user can reproduce the bug. It passed moderation, however it remains _invisible_ (not found at <https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/new/>). <https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/pijgss/-/> and cross-post <https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/pijjpk/-/> draw attention in the FreeBSD and KDE subreddits.
How does Plasma store System Settings -> Appearance -> Global Theme -> Fonts preferences? fonts-conf(5), gsettings or something else? I'd like to reproduce outside of KDE. $ fc-match mono DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" $ fc-match sans DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" $ fc-match serif DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book" $ fc-match -v | fgrep hint hintstyle: 1(i)(w) hinting: True(s) autohint: False(s) fonthashint: True(w) $ gsettings list-recursively | fgrep font org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences titlebar-uses-system-font true org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences titlebar-font 'Cantarell Bold 11' org.gnome.desktop.interface font-antialiasing 'grayscale' org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Source Code Pro 10' org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name 'Cantarell 11' org.gnome.desktop.interface font-hinting 'slight' org.gnome.desktop.interface font-rgba-order 'rgb' org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Cantarell 11'
It is possibly the new support in Firefox of the `system-ui` font: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1226042 For me, it defaults to the `Cantarell` family: $ fc-match ':family=system-ui' Cantarell-Regular.ttf: "Cantarell" "Regular" My "fix" was to associate `system-ui` with another font family in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf: <fontconfig> ... <alias> <family>system-ui</family> <prefer> <family>Liberation Sans</family> </prefer> </alias> ... </fontconfig> I use only a window manger, so there is, or should be, nothing else involved.
