how do I report a bug against the Gitlab fucking Monospace font

the spaces aren't the right width at all sizes, meaning it's not monospaced in text with lots of spaces

Can someone spot check it on their computer?

Visit this site:

Paste the following text into the box, and then change the size:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet blah blah blah |
wow |
That is pretty damn broken |

on my computer, the middle line bounces around. It SHOULD NOT DO THAT.

@endrift It seems to be fine for me? Firefox 149 on KDE Plasma 6.6. The pipes stay in line with each other

@Cyborus Strange. I'm on Firefox 148 on KDE Plasma 6.6. I'm using 200% scaling though, since I'm on a hidpi monitor. Maybe that has something to do with it.

@endrift I tried setting mine to 200% and that didn't mess it up but I can't test the HiDPI part.

@endrift @Cyborus pipes are lining up fine for me in Firefox 148 on Niri/Wayland. Both on my 1080p monitor, and my (2256x1504) hidpi screen scaled at 1.4

@endrift can't repro on windows in chromium and gecko based browsers

maybe some extension injects extra styles that interfere? this looks sus.
