Why is my font not displaying correctly for Spring Tool Suite Dashboard on MacOS?


On both of my Macs I'm having an odd font display problem for the Dashboard which loads the spring.io website. I've tried multiple versions of STS and two different Macs running Sierra. If I look at other sites via the dashboard, generally it displays fine and if I use an external browser like Safari or Chrome the site displays correctly. It is only in the Dashboard that this problem exists. Further, this problem does not exist if I go to preferences/dashboard and select use old dashboard. The styling goes back to the old method but the font problem is not there at least.

Solution

  • Switch to old dashboard from preference menu.
