• This isn’t a huge deal, but it was annoying me, as my site with Wordfence looked different than the normal admin/dashboard fonts. When I disabled Wordfence, the dashboard fonts were no longer squished, and went back to normal.
    Again, not a huge deal, but it would be nice if it could be fixed. FYI, I’m on Linux using Chrome, as I confirmed that the issue does not occur on Windows or Mac OSX.

  • Hi @nosilver4u,

    Can you confirm that you’ve cleared your browser’s cache?

    Just reinstalled the OS a couple weeks ago, so hadn’t even thought of that.
    Tested it with an icognito window and flushed the caches to be sure, and the squishing is still there.

    Hi @nosilver4u,

    In case you’re not already using one could you try and temporarily switch to a default theme.

    Also could you check the browser console to see if there are any errors?

    Yup, using Twenty Seventeen currently, as it’s just my dev site.
    Checked the browser console and nothing shows up there at all.

    Hi @nosilver4u,

    We think this behavior could be caused by another plugin or the theme setting the font size on the <html> element on all wp-admin pages — if you’re comfortable using the browser’s developer tools, could you please try and to find out if a font size is set on that tag by another plugin or theme?

    Alternately, you could try disabling other plugins or switching themes temporarily, to see which one causes it.

    I disabled all plugins (not that there were many active to start with), switched to a different theme (was using Twenty Seventeen, now using Twenty Sixteen), and loaded up the admin in an Incognito window, and the font is still squished.

    So, pulled up the dev console and took a look there, and came up with… nothing.
    I honestly can’t find any CSS rules that seem to be mucking things up. I even enabled SCRIPT_DEBUG so that it would make it easier to pinpoint which stylesheet the rules are coming from, but the font styling seems to be identical…except it isn’t.
    I don’t know what to think at this point, and honestly it’s not worth the time I’m spending on it. So if you figure it out, great, if not, oh well…

    Hi @nosilver4u,

    I just wanted to check with you if the recent update(s) have had any effect on this. Are you still having the problem?

    Still the same with everything up to date.
