I don't seem to have any old fonts - the system copy is selected by fontconfig, and it is the only version on my system: $ fc-match arial -f"%{file}\n" /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationSans-Regular.ttf $ locate LiberationSans-Regular /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationSans-Regular.ttf My font setup is almost the Debian default, but I have changed a few things. To rule this out, I disabled everything in /etc/fonts/conf.d and confirmed that ~/.config/font-manager is missing. Then, I enabled only the symlink which assigns Liberation Sans to Arial: # ls -la /etc/fonts/conf.d/*conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jun 25 07:55 /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf -> ../conf.avail/30-metric-aliases.conf Even with this setup, I am able to reproduce the issue with my HTML example. See the attached image for how the HTML looks on my system. Thanks, Ross
