Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jpochyla/psst/issues/512

Describe the bug
The font of the application is rendered strangely, it's as if it's not as sharp as it should be. This is especially notable in the playlist overview in the left sidebar where for example the capital L looks cut off at the bottom.

To Reproduce

Launch Psst on Linux
Make sure there is a playlist

Expected behavior
Fonts to be rendered correctly.

Screenshots

Environment

OS: Alpine Linux edge
Version: there are no releases yet so bit of a strange question, but a492c33e5d

Additional context
I'm wondering if it's just using the wrong font as in general it doesn't look as nice as the screenshot in the README.

I have a feeling it might be related to this https://github.com/linebender/druid/issues/1088 which is unfortunate as I'm not sure if this was addressed or not.

We should put the upstream badge on this.
