My Question or Issue

I'm using the web player on a fresh install of Arch Linux + Google Chrome, and I'm facing a strange issue. It seems like the font used to display the song artist renders in a really weird manner. Some examples:

Whenever I hover over that string, it gets "fixed", but gets "broken" again if I move the cursor around the UI. I have the console filled with this log: "The resource https://open.spotifycdn.com/cdn/fonts/spoticon_regular_2.d319d911.woff2 was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate `as` value and it is preloaded intentionally."

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Still having this issue with Fedora Linux 37

the problem is the eSMjmiD29Ox35O95waw6 class of the css, you can create a custom css to fix the problem, hoping for an official fix soon

.eSMjmiD29Ox35O95waw6 {
    -webkit-mask-image: none !important;
}

on chrome and firefox you can use stylus extension.

there is also a way to fix the desktop client but i don't know if it's allowed to say the name of the tool to do it

video of the problem attached and how fix problem on chrome/chromium with stylus (it's the same on firefox)

}

I was able to fix it by adding --disable-gpu flag when launching Spotify.

- Alternatively, I added the flag in my spotify.desktop file

I am running Spotify trough Faltpak on Ubuntu 23.04 and I can confirm the same issue.
Adding --disable-gpu to the flatpak "command" it's not solving the issue.

Strange, that actually works for me.  I can't believe this hasn't been fixed yet.

Can confirm this issue, installed from the aur. Adding --disable-gpu fixed it.

This worked for me, thank you. I'm using the PWA via Chromimum on linux.

Using the official deb/ubuntu client. Adding --disable-gpu to the launcher fixed it.
