[SOLVED] Russian (cyrillic) font is ugly in Dashboard

[denmmx]

Hi,
tonight I'm updated my gateway from 16.1.20 to 16.7 version. All services continue works fine, but in Russian interface (cyrillic font) fonts looks very ugly (serif font vs. sans-serif in English version). This bug also was in previous release, but I hoped this bug was fixed in new release. I'v attached screenshot with problem.
Hope that you fix this in the near future.

Hi there,

I've heard this before and it's likely true, but it's difficult to fix without knowing what looks better and how it can be fixed. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.


Cheers,
Franco

Ok, I can help with this.

Currently OPNSense uses Google font "Source Sans Pro", which is not support Cyrillic fonts.
Alternative might be to use sans-serif Google Font "PT Sans", it's looks amazing with cyrillic text. Examples attached.

This is places to need fix with font, in a first approximation.

Hi,
I'm updated the system after seeing your message. It's very strange, but Russian fonts began looks good only on Lumia 640 (Windows Phone 8.1)! On other systems, eg Windows 7, 10, even on Linux Mint with Chrome it still as before. Browsers cache was cleared before testing. ( Attaching screenshots.
P.S. Fonts looks amazing on your screenshot!

Ok, great, thanks for confirming. We'll ship it with 16.7.3.

I think the browsers/the font system itself are too cache-greedy.
