[Help] eww does not display text properly

The right window is `emacs -Q` while the left window is Emacs GUI 
launched normally. I am unable to view text properly in eww buffers.

I've tried changing font and theme, but that doesn't seem to help. Here 
are the list of enabled minor modes: http://ix.io/2VbP

(emacs -nw works fine)

Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks.

Have you tried changing the font of variable-pinch?

What is variable-pinch and how is that different from what the command 
`set-frame-font` does?

Thanks.

variable-pinch is the face used for non-monospaces text. Try

               M-x customize-face variable-pinch RET

and see what font is used for the face.

There's no such face in Emacs, AFAIK.  You probably meant
variable-pitch.

Please move your cursor onto one of the wrongly displayed characters, type 
C-u C-x =, and show us (copy-paste) the output in the *Help* buffer.  It 
might be displayed incorrectly, too, but copy-pasting should work.

Thanks, can you now show us the output of M-x describe-face RET 
variable-pitch RET ?

Commenting out variable-pitch in .emacs seems to fix the issue. Thanks 
for helping!

I think the problem is that your face height is set to "10" where you 
probably meant "1.0".

Ah, you're right. Changing it to 1.0 makes the text clear.

Thanks.
