Weird whitespaces in some webpages.

a new sad me@lemmy.world to Firefox@lemmy.ml – 30 points –

Hi, recently Firefox (technically Librewolf) presents me with weird whitespace as in the image. I tried to search for something similar, and I did find some post, suggesting I'll edit my font configs (in settings), but this has no effect. I tried to also open in incognito mode or disabled all my plugins or even create a new profile on my machine, but the spacings are always like this. On proper firefox, I don't see this issue.

Any idea?

My gut suggests it's a font issue, like librewolf is using a system font and firefox is using embedded or downloaded fonts.

backing that up with a search, I see there's lots of people complaining of font rendering issues of various types in the librewolf subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LibreWolf/search/?q=font

I don't know what your fix is, but I hope this helps guide you.

Yeah. You can change the font somewhere in the Firefox settings

I tried but the browser just ignore my request. I saw in the other reply, that this is an issue of font fingerprints.
