I myself honestly don't know what I want in this case. From my perspective the UX was suddenly some web fonts look horrible, and for a long while I had no idea why. It was a lot of work to try and figure out where the problem actually was coming from, and then what on earth to do about it. So I do

Re-opening a bug that's of the same nature, how exactly is that unacceptable? The version numbers may be different but it very much is relevant to the topic. It's a regression, from what I read of the situation, which warrants re-opening. Age is not relevant IMO. I do agree with the premise of keep

I have the same issue as Jaromir Obr and I'm about to try to remove the fonts-wine package. But I game heavily so I'm hoping this doesn't break my gaming. It's absurd that such a package would lead to horrible web rendering, and this sure has been a doosie to nail down! Thanks Jaromir for your inve
