Description

Hiya, I was viewing my repo on my Gitea instance and noticed that the description of the project looks very.... bad. Removing "Microsoft YaHei" from body's font-family in Chrome Inspector worked fine, but I'm not sure if this is modifiable on my end. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this occurring, so maybe this should be something modified in code?

Screenshots

Done on try.gitea.io for easy comparison.

You can use custom/template to use the font that suite you the best by overriding the css file or adding one.

I wonder if changing font stack would improve overall reading experience. Medium for example uses
medium-content-sans-serif-font,-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,Cantarell,"Open Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif

Omitting the first one (Medium specific), it can be a great set of time-tested fonts picked by pros whose job is to make content legible. This font-family set, combined with `text-rendering: optimizelegibility', improved font rendering throughout the whole Gitea. The only thing I am not sure about is eastern language family. I suppose Microsoft YaHei is only available on Windows, so it might not be a good one to use. If the Medium font set renders everything well, why use current ones?

And it can be done in addition to transition to building Semantic UI from LESS sources, without global !important overrides as it is done now.

font-family is now: Lato,-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,system-ui,Segoe UI,Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif. I don't remember when it was changed (maybe when changed for language compatibility) but I think we can close this issue.
Feel free to re-open the issue if it is not solved.
