Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

I recently do full upgrade and then this happened, let start with emoji I do have noto-fonts-emoji installed, rebuilding fontconfig cache and verify it (including the font), messing around in about:config, starting firefox in safe mode also using MOZ_DISABLE_RDD_SANDBOX & GDK_BACKEND env, trying new profile, etc.

$ fc-match emoji    
NotoColorEmoji.ttf: "Noto Color Emoji" "Regular"
$ fc-match sans 
NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular"

Now for the font, half of text are somewhat invisible or faint, tables are not rendered properly.

Any help would be appreciated smile

Re: Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

The missing glyphs in  https://files.catbox.moe/hxk6dm.png are all in the private area of nerd-fonts
No emoji font will help you here.

https://files.catbox.moe/mha1gq.png looks color ie. css related?
What's the source for that rendering (url) and do you encounter this in the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefo … shoot_Mode ?

Hi,

The missing glyphs in  https://files.catbox.moe/hxk6dm.png are all in the private area of nerd-fonts

what do you mean by that?

https://files.catbox.moe/mha1gq.png looks color ie. css related?

it's from Tryhackme and unlikely css issue it happened while in safe mode.

Re: Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

what do you mean by that?

The tofus belonging to all the nf-something's

https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q … =&flagged=
https://www.nerdfonts.com/cheat-sheet

it's from Tryhackme

Do I need to register an account to see the specific page?

unlikely css issue

What does the web inspector (ctrl+shift+i or context menu) say about the calculated colors (and the calculation cascade)?

Does that mean I have to install all the packages from the link you provided?

Technically yes, but for viewing just use this.

Take a look at this

No, but you probably want https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/ttf-noto-nerd/ ?

You link looks nothing like anything in the screenshot (notably there's no "question 3") but the color matches the css rule - the thing that's probably off is the background color - do you use a dark theme anywhere?

Re: Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

I installed it, removed the old fontconfig, rebuilt the cache, and still nothing sad

Umm… there's "question 3" maybe you missed it. About the color, do you mean by extension or the browser itself?

I always enable dark theme on firefox and also on google preferences. For extensions, I use darkreader and enable it whenever the background is static, not those that have animations or something heavy to be rendered; otherwise, it lags.

fc-match :charset=f1eb

You actually need to open a different task…

And if you don't?

Re: Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

$ fc-match :charset=f1eb
NotoSansNerdFont-Regular.ttf: "NotoSans Nerd Font" "Regular"

And if you don't?

Same results

Re: Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

The url you posted does not have a dark background here for sure - the overall appearance *will* have changed *somehow* w/ the disabled dark mode?
The missing glyph is now covered by the nerd font - unless Firefox completely ignores your fontconfig it would be replaced by the glyph from the nerd font?

FF uses an internal, less lenient, fontconfig parser - do you have custom fontconfig files?

fc-conflist

I recently do full upgrade and then this happened

I assume FF was among the updated packages?

Re: Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

Somehow forcing dark mode using an extension makes the font appear kind of small

The missing glyph is now covered by the nerd font - unless Firefox completely ignores your fontconfig it would be replaced by the glyph from the nerd font?

I never set anything in firefox to override the font. I even reset everything to default in font.name* (about:config), but the glyph is still missing tested using these, still it looks exactly the same like the 1st post

do you have custom fontconfig files?

Everything works fine on Chromium.

Pardon, could you please clarify your explanation a bit more? I'm finding it difficult to grasp what you're saying.

Re: Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

Using the web inspector, what font does FF calculate to show that text?

Pardon, could you please clarify your explanation a bit more?

Not sure what's not clear about that.
The screenshots you posted concerning the faint colors all show the webpage with some altered css, ie. this is likely what's causing the "faint" text and the alteration is probably your efforts to show the page w/ bright text on dark background.
Does it look "ok" when not using any dark style/theme/extension but just the normal webpage?
It would then certainly have a bright background and darker text and not "Same results"

If you wonder about "monkey patching", see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_patch

Re: Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

Using the web inspector, what font does FF calculate to show that text?

<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" />
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com" />
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin />
  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Ubuntu:ital,wght@0,300;0,400;0,500;0,700;1,400;1,500;1,700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" />
  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Source+Sans+Pro:ital,wght@0,200;0,300;0,400;0,600;0,700;0,900;1,400&family=Ubuntu:ital,wght@0,300;0,400;0,500;0,700;1,400;1,500;1,700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" />

It doesn't look ok; so far it only happens on those specific page.

Re: Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

And what does it look like?

That's *not* the CSS calculation, FF tells you what font it ultimately uses.
But it seems like the pastebin service (?) doesn't just use you default monospace like a sane pastebin service but wants to use some google web font in which case you simply won't see nerd font glyphs (or any specific PUA codepoints) BUT:
I randomly googled https://paste.sr.ht/blob/2eda1fc9ded14a … a6e51bff0e (too lazy to transcribe your URL) and that returns plain text - where is that https snippet even coming from?

Using inspect element on the text, it uses Source Sans Pro (Bold, Italic).

Got it somewhere in the forums; forgot who wrote it, but here you go

I meant "visually", like a screenshot - not the font (you concern there were the colors, no)?

https://paste.sr.ht/blob/05df0a5e07a2e5 … aa5c35f192 is plain text, where does the

Re: Firefox: Font & Emoji issues

Strange, this time I started a new profile again & it's working but glyphs are still missing.

That stuff's coming from the webpage.
