Forum font gone walkies (2)

@TomZ
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.

but since yesterday, I think, it got back to normal.

But how??!! :)
(And I think you are a Mac anyway, so doubtless it won't help me!)

I just tried on my Mac (running Sonoma 14.1.1)

On Firefox:

@hskoglund
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.

[SGaist]

@JonB Sorry, I forgot to say that I was using Firefox when it happened.

[JonB]

@SGaist
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.

[SGaist]

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

@JonB Win11 Microsoft Edge. Same problem.

[JonB]

Any comment from anyone involved in Qt.io webservices? :)

[Chris Kawa]

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.

[JonB]

Yay, I seem to have a sans-serif font back! Windows/Chrome.

[KH-219Design]

normal font has returned for me, too. phew. we made it, everybody. thanks for the solidarity :)
