It's not just the SimSun being terrible; MS YaHei is also terrible for displaying Latin characters (among lots of other things, like Japanese Kana), which was why as mentioned above, GitHub, Bootstrap, Wikipedia, and later Stack Overflow, all had to roll back from using it due backslash from the community. Go and add `system-ui` in CSS on GitHub to your Chinese Windows VM and check this very page again to see how it looks. Is it "intended"? Yes it is. But in the ideal world the intended use should give somewhat good result. It doesn't matter which end is causing the issue, at the end the website designer is the one have to deal with it. >There is no reason to stop using/implementing system-ui If you as a dev care about (Chinese) Windows users, you should think twice about using system-ui font. Plenty of Chinese users read English websites. And keep in mind it is a "regression" in term of user experience. The current stack of `-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji"` can at least generate good result for these users (without sacrificing other users). -- GitHub Notification of comment by fireattack Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3658#issuecomment-1258756329 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
