The edge of texts are weird, it doesn't happen to chromium.
You need to see it in fullscreen.

Don't embed huge images directly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … s_and_code

Check which font is actually resolved in e.g. the browser inspection tools and then double check with fc-match. I most often see that when the older ms fonts are resolved which lack a few modern hinting information.

[laichiaheng@Julian-PC ~]$ fc-match
NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Regular"

You need to put the actual font name github tries to use.

E.g.

fc-match Arial
fc-match Helvetica
fc-match sans-serif

That is probably the problem.

Thanks, after installing tex-gyre-fonts, and do fc-cache -fv, the problem is solved.
