To my surpise, it seems the default Safari monospaced font (that is, if you have font-family: monospace
for your HTML) doesn’t support Cyrillic letters. What font does it use? (It seems it is SF Mono, right? But SF Mono, if used in TextEdit and Xcode, does support Cyrillic!) Or maybe this is a bug?
As you can see, the style of Latin and Cyrillic characters is very different:
The same text in raw HTML, so that you can test it yourself:
<pre>woodes rogers
a cruising voyage round the world
фёдор каржавин
краткое известие о достопамятных приключениях капитана д'севиля</pre>
Sonoma 14.1.1, Safari 17.1.
later edit: Guys, do you have the same issue at least? Feedback is welcome!
