Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.1.0

Python Version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

Hello.
Firstly, thank you for all your work.

The problem is that the default font "Plus Jakarta Sans" is not very versatile, I believe it only supports the Latin writing system.
This results in an inconsistent look as shown below on the screen (Russian interface language).

I believe it was introduced in the pull request https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/pull/16848 through variable

 --tblr-font-sans-serif: "Plus Jakarta Sans Variable", system-ui, sans-serif;

Expected Behavior

Since the project aims to support multiple languages, choose a more universal font, if possible.

Observed Behavior

Per Google Fonts this appears to be accurate. I think what you're seeing in the screenshots is one of the fallback system fonts.

IMO we should move back to the original Inter font.
