Operating system

macOS

Joplin version

3.0.12

Desktop version info

Joplin 3.0.12 (prod, darwin)

Client ID: 4d6f946e4b1f418f843bb4e5ffabe27f
Sync Version: 3
Profile Version: 47
Keychain Supported: Yes

Revision: a64d6e3

Backup: 1.4.1
macOS theme: 1.5.7

Current behaviour

After upgrading from version 2 to 3, the text in the rich text editor is garbled. The notes appear correctly on iOS and android, demonstrating that the files are not corrupted.

As can be seen in the above image, the text appears fine in the markdown editor (left), but not in the rich text editor (right).

Furthermore, I note that if I enable the "macOS theme" plugin, then everything works as it should.

Expected behaviour

I note that this bug also occurs on a different macOS computer (M1 Max, Mac Studio). Here is a screenshot after opening the application in developer mode:

Thus, same behaviour on two independent machines, one intel, and apple silicon.

This is one possible fix for laurent22#10679.

Benefits:
- Relatively simple fix
- We have confirmation that this, or a similar change, fixes the issue
  from a user on the Joplin Forum.

Drawbacks:
- Affects all platforms.
- Somewhat changes the appearance of rendered notes. Has a noticeable effect
  on bold text (screenshots to be attached).

Possible alternatives:
- Try upgrading Electron.
   - There are a [few bugs](https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=avenir) in the Chromium issue tracker that might be
     related:
     - https://issues.chromium.org/issues/328279705 (tagged as a
       duplicate of a WONTFIX(infeasible) bug), different repro
       conditions.
- Use Montserrat as the default font and bundle it. Montserrat seems
  similar to Avenir and is licensed under the
  [Open Font License](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat).
  - I don't think we can bundle Avenir, due to licensing.
