Description

**- Describe the bug**
Some special characters are rendered incorrectly on Apple devices with an operating system prior to iOS 17 when the font format is WOFF or WOFF2. For example, the euro symbol and the bold apostrophe. You can see in the screens below:

If I remove WOFF and load only TTF fonts, all special characters are rendered correctly.

To reproduce iOS 17 behaviour you can use a browser testing tool and check differences among devices with iOS 17 and devices with an OS older than the 17. The problem does not occur in other browser or OS.
