  Hi all,

  I am using Ubuntu. On Firefox, Simplenote has a problem showing the character as Japanese character instead of Chinese. Here is the screenshot:

  I have no problem with font displaying on my OS and all other websites on Firefox (I set Chinese font as priority in all related settings). Only on Simplenote, this issue occurs.

  After investigation, I found the culprit. In CSS, there are font names:
  “monospace”, monospace
  They are the same, but the first one is with double quotes around.
  If I remove the double quotes around the font name, it becomes:
  monospace, monospace
  it works.
  If I remove the font name (and the quotes), and leave the one without quotes, it also works:
  monospace

  The same problem happens in all areas where a text could display in. The above fixes also works in all cases.

  What can I do to fix the bug if the problem originates from my side, or Simplenote dev can remove the problematic font name (that one with double quotes around) to solve the problem? Thank you in advance.

  Thanks for reporting this and for your detailed investigation! I’ve passed this issue along to our developers for further review. It will likely take some time to address, and unfortunately, I don’t have a specific timeframe for when this will be fixed. In the meantime, you might be able to continue using the workaround you found to adjust the font issue.

  Thanks for your patience and understanding in the meantime!
