My guess: something in WebKit's font rendering code doesn't work well with the font settings you've configured. WebKit either does this something worse, or just differently than other software that you use. But I really have no way to know what that something is. There are no Linux font experts working on WebKit who I can pass this issue to, which is why I haven't moved this bug to WebKit Bugzilla. > Can I do some test to pinpoint if this is a general webkit2gtk3 issue, or > specific to Epiphany? Epiphany doesn't have much control over fonts or web content, so no point in pursuing that angle. ;) All it can do is change the the default fonts and font sizes that get passed to WebKit, if you modify the settings in the Appearance settings panel. But I doubt that's that's relevant to your issue. > Is it worth exploring the regression angle, since this worked in Fedora 33? > And if so, how? I've tried downgrading the obvious offenders. Yeah sure, if you can find this is caused by some package update, that would be very interesting. That said, the version of WebKitGTK available in F33 and F34 should be identical. I see you've already tried downgrading FreeType and WebKitGTK. Next I would try, in order of most likely culprit to least-likely: cario, harfbuzz, and Fontconfig. If it's not due to any of those, then I don't know. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list -- fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to fonts-bugs-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
