exactly wtf is up with this website, firefox doesn't show t's, random f's, d's - it's a complete mess.

    firefox doesn't show

I'm using the Firefox Developer version on Windows and everything renders correctly for me. I tested Firefox on Android and everything is present there as well.

No issues here on Firefox 146 Fedora/GNOME. Also imagine it's not uncommon for a personal site to not test for Safari if they're not in the Apple ecosystem.

As a fellow Fedora/GNOME user, fun fact: GNOME Web uses the same web engine as Safari! They both use Webkit, so it's not out of reach.

My best guess is that the font I am using (WOFF2 variable font) might be tripping up the browser.

That's probably it. I am getting these problems with Safari 17.6, with a newer one, Safari 26.0.1, there is no problem.

FF working as expected for me on Ubuntu
