    @JonB said in Forum font gone walkies (2):

    I went to "Adobe Fonts"

    The website / css is supposed to make sure the font will be downloaded from the location given.

    Today checked the error log on my Firefox, and I got the answer:

    Ah ha!

    I am still unsure why, having explicitly installed Titillium Web font apparently in case that is necessary, it is not prepared to pick that up locally? Nor why I believe my two Windows 11 machines are badly affected but my one Windows 10 one does not seem to be, or picks a sans-serif font?

    From where we are now, if Qt.io are not acting on this and I (wish to) stick to Chrome is there anything I can do to make it pick the right font or at least a sans-serif one?

      It is clearly a bug on their side;
      https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-3/#font-fetching-requirements

      The implications of this for authors are that fonts will typically not be loaded cross-origin unless authors specifically takes steps to permit cross-origin loads.

      In the meantime I'm wondering (never checked) if there are plugins for your browser that allows overriding specific css stuff. In this case the font used.

        Hmm, let's hope that someone looks at this thread then....

        Meanwhile, since it works for me on some machines' Chrome but not others, is there a (security?) setting I may have in one Chrome but not the other which would allow through this CORS issue on only one of them?

          I got an email "[Qt Forum] Digest for 2023/11/27" two days ago that listed this forum topic as the top item.

          I did not visit the forum that day, but I thought to myself: "someone posting about the forum itself? and its font? that's... unusual"

          So today I visit the forum and lo and behold (WTF!) my eyes are also boggled by this newsprint-looking font.

          For the record, I am using:

          • Firefox 119.0.1 (as Snap for Ubuntu)
          • Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS Jammy

            Hi,

            Well... For some days I had something looking like Times New Roman as well but since yesterday, I think, it got back to normal.

                  I am Chrome-only and Windows-only. But my Chrome looks like your Firefox. :(
                  2 are Windows 11 and bad, one is Windows 10 and is good but that might be Chrome settings, I don't know.

                      Yes, but you are using Mac, and all my artistic friends who do tell me Macs just work (unlike PCs/Windows) ;-)

                      Whichever, the problem is happening to a variety of people on a variety of platforms/browsers. I wouldn't normally be a pain about this sort of thing, but I really find the serif font difficult for a forum and my eyes.

                        @JonB You're not a pain. One of the goal of the forum them is to be as pleasing as possible for everybody.

                              It was ok for me until I read this topic and pressed Shift+F5 to reload without cache and now the fonts are missing for me too. Looks like some problem with cross domain references.
