What is wrong with the font? the site is nearly unreadable.

The font seems to fix itself when zooming in a bunch.

No issue on Linux / Firefox for me... Side note, looking at the source there is a spoiler commented out!!!

No problems on Chrome on Windows either.

I ignore such fonts, I simply use reader mode on almost all sites.

Is there a reader mode that works on almost all sites?

That's the result of `-webkit-font-smoothing: none`

Same problem with font being unreadable unless zooming in on Chrome on Mac

Either switch off `-webkit-font-smoothing` in the CSS of the site or use Firefox (Safari also uses `-webkit-font-smoothing: none`).

would be interested to see a screenshot, a bit hard to imagine what the problem is from a text description

Non-antialiased, scaled text: https://i.postimg.cc/28ZWKHFK/Bildschirmfoto-2024-06-03-um-1... With normal anti-aliasing (`-webkit-font-smoothing: none;` disabled, or set to `-webkit-font-smoothing: auto;`): https://i.postimg.cc/g0NLZ1mn/Bildschirmfoto-2024-06-03-um-1...

Lynn wanted the font to look like an "old", pixelated one, I guess. And instead of using a font that would work anywhere, they have chosen to set `-webkit-font-smoothing: none;`, which works on Chrome and Safari in a certain font size only and not even on every OS. I guess it should look like this (scaled to 110% in my browser): https://i.postimg.cc/rsmpLprJ/Bildschirmfoto-2024-06-03-um-1...
