Regarding the the arguments below I'd like to suggest an option to choose your font (i.e. by means of a settings-option per user or a personal css). I wouldn't say this is a bug but a helpful feature?

I was told by a member of our team that on MacOS + Firefox the UI looks different than with the old admin-UI - the font lines are thinner (like the difference between bold and regular) - which impacts the readability of the UI. I don't have a Mac at my hands right now - no screenshot rn, maybe later.

Another argument is: dyslexia or just difficulties with reading text. There are open source fonts like Open Dyslexic and Dyslexie.
Do dyslexia fonts help?

They say no, there is no scientific evidence: https://dyslexiaida.org/do-special-fonts-help-people-with-dyslexia/

They say no too, but... https://learningally.org/resource/dyslexia-does-font-really-matter

The BDA found that readers with dyslexia prefer:

   Strong ascenders and descenders on b, d, f, h, k, l, t, and for capital letters such as G, J, P, Q, and Y.
   Distinctions between b and d, and p and q, rather than mirror images
   Capital I, lowercase l, and the numeral 1, should have different forms
   The lowercase g should be rounded as in cursive script (rather than in the doubled form of the serif fonts). Most people with dyslexia like a rounded a, but some feel the rounded a too closely resembles the o.
   Letter-spacing should be wide enough so that letter don’t run into each other. Example: r and n typed as rn, should not look like m so that “modern” ends up looking like “modem.”

As for special dyslexia fonts, the above mentioned fonts, Lexia-Readable, Open Dyslexic, and Dyslexie, are free (open source) downloads.```
