Description

We use Vikunja in Czech language, there are some Czech letters that are out of Latin1, test phrase is "Příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy", which is like English "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".

As you can see on the screenshot Latin1 letters like á or é are fine, but Latin2 (Central European, ISO 8859-2) are falling back to different font and looks ugly (š, č, ř, ů, ...).

It'd be great if:

  • all characters are included in the font
  • or one can customize this e.g. via helm chart (not to inflate font size for everyone)

This may be related to #493 .

Can prepare PR if direction is decided.

BTW demo site running v0.24.1-1755-f7e2c00b looks ok.

Vikunja Version

v0.24.6

Browser and version

FireFox 128, Debian Linux.

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

No

Screenshots

my instance from helm chart - v0.24.6

This has likely been fixed by https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/issues/143. Since you can't reproduce it on the demo, which runs on unstable builds, it was already fixed.
