Do you have 'Linux Libertine', font installed? Perhaps the installed font is not a good one?

Clean installation of Windows 11 (en-US). Not logged to Wiki.

Firefox - OK
Chromium-based browsers - not OK

Same with ?safemode=1

Same with safemode. Have no 'Linux Libertine' on my PC :(

Thanks for confirming. We will look into this some more. Possibly an upstream Chrome bug.

@Iniquity: Do you know which font is ultimately being used when rendering goes wrong? Asking because the font may not contain positioning info (e.g. an ankr table). If it's not the font itself, then I've lost track if Chrome browsers on Windows use Harfbuzz, FreeType, and/or Skia for rendering and positioning.

I think Georgia. If I remove it from the font-family list, then everything is fine.
