Font changes since 12.4.0

[sevilyilmaz]

Hey folks,

I replied in a similar issue but since it was closed due to inactivity and there was no response to my question I open this new issue.

I started having this issue when I tried upgrading from 12.3.0 to 13.6.0.

The screenshots that Gitlab CI produces are the same with the old ones but when I run it locally they have this issue.

I tried the different image versions including custom build that @mjhenkes suggested, but the issue persisted. I went through the factory directory history but I couldn't find anything that would point to this issue either. Would the new images use the fonts from the environment that they are build or something like this?

As a workaround, I still use 12.3.0 locally and 12.17.0 on CI as this is the first image that use Node 18+ which some of my dependencies (Vite plugins) require it. But since this is a temporary workaround and eventually I would need to use higher version of Node I would like to find a solution.

I asked my colleagues to test it and they had the same issue. We all have Macbook (Apple M1 - macOS 14.3).

@sevilyilmaz

Were you able to make any progress on this issue?

Do you have a public reproducible example? If yes, which image are you using?

Note that the latest images are now based on Debian 12.5.

@MikeMcC399 I wasn't aware of this change. I'll test it out
