  • From your other responses, this is a system issue not a problem with the website.

    Lemmy.world’s code has this font list for sans-serif: system-ui,-apple-system,“Segoe UI”,Roboto,“Helvetica Neue”,“Noto Sans”,“Liberation Sans”,Arial,sans-serif,“Apple Color Emoji”,“Segoe UI Emoji”,“Segoe UI Symbol”,“Noto Color Emoji”

    I’d use the dev tools to check which font is being rendered. I’m on Windows so I get Segoe UI, which I find entirely acceptable.


  • Even UTF-16 used by Windows isn’t fair because it needs twice as much space for hieroglyphs. Won’t someone think of the ancient Egyptians?

    Seriously, now that most display systems can handle putting accents on letters instead of needing a code point just for á, a new universal encoding would be nice. Purge it of Unicode’s precomposed letters, duplicated Chinese characters, and duplicated-in-retrospect letters and you could fit another few alphabets into Plane 0.

    But convincing tech companies to make webpages bigger seems difficult.
