I've spotted it in Laos, Myanmar, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Mongolia.
DivestOS (a third-party OS), Android 10.
There is no issue on stock Xiaomi Android 13.

It looks like OM uses apk-bundled fonts to render on the map, but only system (sometimes missing) fonts for the UI?
It looks quite confusing from users' POV.
Is it possible to make UI use bundled fonts if there is no suitable system font? Or maybe always use the same font both for the map and UI - for consistency.

FYI @biodranik

I'm not sure that using custom fonts in the app UI is possible on Android 10.
