This is not the same issue that the reporter of #975039 reported, so we
should treat it as a separate bug, even if the WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0
workaround is the same. The original topic of #975039 was that emails
did not render *at all*, whereas you are talking about emails rendering
as low-quality text.

Please send replies about low-quality font rendering to the new cloned
bug, not to #975039.

Do you have xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed?
If not, does installing them improve the font rendering?

Does upgrading libgtk-3-0 to the version from experimental improve the
font rendering? There have been some changes related to font settings
and sandboxing.
