Font on website preview doesn't match downloaded file #597

Website preview (notice the J): image

Downloaded file (notice the J): image

I believe the J used to be as it is now on the website preview, because I have an older version of the font installed on my desktop computer, and the J looks just like that.

But I think it later changed to be as it is now on the downloaded file, and the website hasn't been changed to reflect that.

Same here, noticed this too and took me an hour to figure out why system looks different (was cursing at poor Linux :)). For me I'm falling back to the 2.242 version, but it would be nice if that is mentioned somewhere (the preview with "JetBrains Mono" already looks different) and of course changed on the website to not confuse.

Checked the SS and CV and there is nothing that could have gone wrong, so this seems intended?

What seems intended? Them removing the top of J or the font on the website not matching the download?

I do think that the J was purposefully modified, but I believe the website should always have an up-to-date preview.
