OK, this is weird. I'm using firefox 159.0-1, and I tried both fonts-materialdesignicons-legacy versions 5.9.55+6.9.96+dfsg-3 and -5, and when I used the inspector to look at the fonts used on the page, with both versions of the package, Firefox tells me that it is only Liberation Mono and Liberation Sans on the Stack Overflow page, and Liberation Mono and Noto Sans on the GitHub page. So I'm not sure that it's related to this package. Hmmm. Best wishes, Julian
