Web terminal font changed after update to 9.1.3

Hello @archos
What browser and operating system are you using?

So the current terminal sets the font to monospace which should pick up the monospace font setting from the system. On typical linux systems this would be Noto Sans Mono most likely. But we don't ship any monospace font as such. Can you check which monospace your system settings have?

I am using Firefox on Arch Linux.

The default monospace font on my system is Noto Sans Mono.

Output of fc-match monospace:
NotoSansMono-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans Mono" "Regular"

I also have several other monospace fonts installed (Meslo Nerd Font Mono, FiraCode Nerd Font Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, Liberation Mono, etc.), but the default monospace resolves to Noto Sans Mono.

Before updating Cloudron to version 9.1.3 the font in the web terminal was fine and easy for me to read.

After the update it changed to a different monospace font which is harder for me to read. I will also try testing it in another browser.

Interesting, then we have both the exact same arch setup. Also on firefox here. I am a bit out of ideas then

Could this be related to https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3268/terminal-garbled-unusable-win10-firefox-latest and https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/6326/firefox-and-app-terminal-can-t-see-anything ?

Sorry for the confusion — it looks like this is not a Cloudron issue.

I tested the web terminal in Vivaldi and the font looks normal there.

So it seems to be related to Firefox on my system rather than Cloudron itself.

Still strange that both our setups are so similar yet the terminal is broken, have you tried the webrenderer about:config setting ? Though in my case it works either way.

If you want strange, I can throw this in the mix :

Firefox on Ubuntu, but it also happens on Brave. Might be due to the format (.ftl file)

[archos]

The issue was resolved by manually setting the monospace font in Firefox (about:config).

Previously, a different font was being used. After forcing "Noto Sans Mono", everything works correctly.

I'm not sure why it changed on its own.

Thanks for sharing the solution!
