Vivaldi choosing TTF webfonts instead of WOFF2
-
Hi,
for some reason, Vivaldi seems to be preferring TTF version of webfonts instead of WOFF2 like other Blink based browsers seem to do, which leads to it displaying quite a few websites with corrupted/substituted fonts for extended characters.For example, this is one of the URLs for webfonts in the CSSS of Google Trends page:
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100%2C300%2C400%2C500
If you click on this URL in pretty much any other browser I can get my hands on, it fetches an extensive WOFF2 list of font definitions. If you do the same in Vivaldi, it just fetches a basic list of TTF fonts which lack many of the alternatives with extended charsets.
The result is that the page looks pretty bad in Vivaldi, with certain accented characters being shown in completely different font:
See for yourself:

The same thing happens on many pages that use webfonts.

Using the fake user agent listed above does indeed fix the issue on the affected pages (well, at least on those I tried).
