I have tried another browser (firefox and safari) and the error does not occur. With edge browser the error also occurs

Sorry for the very late reply @mjaraiz.
I've performed a quick check, and am unable to replicate this at all.
To me it sounds like an environment-specific issues, maybe related to fonts in use and/or available on the system.

Going to therefore close this off but happy to re-test if found likely reproducible on a modern environment.
