User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180315232954

Steps to reproduce:

Go to https://slack.com/terms-of-service/user-updated and read the h3 headings with a "d", e.g., "These User Terms are Legally Binding".




Actual results:

The letter "d" appears like an "a"

In both Chrome and Edge the "d" appears like a "d", and if I remove either italics or Slack-Averta from the CSS, it again appears like a "d".


Expected results:

It should look like a "d"

@reporter,
One more thing. If you think this is regression, could you perhaps try to find the regression range?

Do you still see this issue? I just looked at https://slack.com/terms-of-service/user-updated on my machine (MacOS) and did not have the same problem.

I can no longer reproduce either on either Debian 10 or Ubuntu 20.04, so I think you can close this.
