hello, this looks like an issue with hardware acceleration - please try updating your graphics driver...

Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
