Some text is squished horizontally

I was looking at some webpages, and I noticed that some text looked squished horizontally. I then compared it to another browser (Mercury, fork of Firefox) and it was not squished there, making this most likely a Ladybird problem. Ladybird: image Mercury: image

Thanks for the report! Looking at the pictures, I suspect we might just be loading a different font, though it's hard to be sure. We need better font debugging. :sweat_smile:

Can confirm this is just the incorrect font/font variant

This reminds me of the libass#770 bug that affected mpv where the condensed variant is selected incorrectly. Maybe their fix is also applicable in this case.

Our fix would be implementing the correct selection of font variants

@xandaaah Can you provide an URL to the reproduction page? Maybe it has been fixed in the meanwhile.
