The issue vanishes when disabling custom fonts and 2 of the 4 glyphs (as per below).

Questions without answer:

• Why is the issue observed on macOS but not on Linux?
• Why only 2 of the 4 glyphs are problematic (reload and lambda)?
• Why does the issue persist when replacing the reload and lambda buttons with left and right (as per below)?

While these questions are important, the goal of supporting custom fonts or SVG glyphs is not a priority right now.

[aadcg]

After another round of investigations, the questions above remain.

And the conclusion remains the same:

While these questions are important, the goal of supporting custom fonts or SVG glyphs is not a priority right now.

See c8221aa76. Closing as "will fix later when the time is right".
