- fonts not clear
Sadly have never run into this myself - so not really sure where this originates - places I'd check in that situation:
* the developer utilities of the Browser - see if anything is blocked in downloading, see if there are errors in the console
* the installed fonts and their configuration on the system you're accessing the web GUI from
I hope this helps!
Up until 2 weeks ago it was only like this on Edge and Chrome. Then Firefox did some updates and now its like this on Firefox also. In Chrome and Edge it has been like this since I stated using Proxmox, over a year now. I am a system admin for 32 years now and I have only seen this on a couple things. Do you know what the default font for Proxmox is? I will check to see if that is loaded in my fonts. Other then that I don't know. I have a very high end Invidia graphics card and high end Dell 4K photographic monitors so I know that's not it.
do you have a zoom-factor set in your browser when visiting the PVE GUI? (this could explain it)
regarding fonts - nothing out of the ordinary - helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif (checked by selecting an element in the developer utils of chromium)

No zoom. I have isolated the issues to just the one workstation. I just copied all fonts from one working workstation to the non working one and still did not fix the issue. so weird.
And FYI, it looks ok in Firefox again, but still blurry in Chromium.

Probably font related, one of my machines has an helvetica font installed (actually a font clone I've renamed so an ancient piece of software works), and I see the same thing your seeing, if I disable that font the display is normal. Looking at the CSS for proxmox I see font-family: helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif;, so my "helvetica" font was being used.
I'm considering doing a quick search and replace to change that order, but will have to experiment.

This fix my issue
After deleted Helvetica font everything display correctly
Thanks, XrXca!
This is correct. I had the same issue and just so happened I had just installed helvetica. Thank you.
Well I think Proxmox needs to change something then because I'm not going to delete the Helvetica font as it's a very important font and used on a lot of websites.
Not all that important anymore, maybe 20 years ago, about the only OS I know of that includes Helvetica by default these days is MacOS.
I can confirm that a search/replace for "helvetica, arial, verdana" replacing with "arial, verdana, helvetica" in css files under /usr/share/javascript/extjs and in the file /usr/share/pve-manager/css/ext6-pve.css on the proxmox servers does fix the problem for our one problematic workstation,
