Hi,
I have noticed that when using Firefox on Fedora 41, certain websites show different fonts compared to for example on Ubuntu or Windows.
For example some of the text on Lichess.org is cursive on Fedora, unlike Ubuntu.
The top-bar has cursive text. Does anybody know how to change this? I guess it’s Fedora, since it only occurs on this OS.
Thanks.
Kind regards.
You might have to install extra fonts to make this work.
If you can find out what the font is that is used by ubuntu or Windows you see if its package for installation on Fedora.
When looking at the Dev Tools on F41 and Firefox, the site is serving up a copy of the Noto Sans web font as shown below:
KDE Font Management doesn’t render Noto Sans Regular as italicized. I also have the font packages installed, google-noto-sans-fonts.noarch 20240701-2.fc41
Looks like it’s also been reported on GH: Words become unnecessarily italic on Firefox · Issue #16760 · lichess-org/lila · GitHub
They are serving custom made versions of a few fonts that are not compatible with Firefox, at least not the Firefox version currently on Fedora. The fonts they serve are much too small in filesize to contains all the standard glyphs, so they must have stripped everything they’re not using.
The stripped Roboto Light font still renders okay in Firefox:
But Noto Sans doesn’t:
Hi Linh,
Thanks for your reply and the mentioned post on github. Glad it is already posted there and will wait for a fix.

I don’t know which package solved the issue, but the fonts are now back to normal.
