[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?

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.

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

Thanks.

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

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.

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.

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