Are you using the latest release(s) of IE and Edge? FYI, be advised that both web browsers are not recommended for use. Support for these browsers will be discontinued in the future. See this help topic,

Hi Drek,

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the late response.

Yes I am using latest version of IE and Edge, The issue exist due to the used font "Avenue" and is not exist on AGO version of the dashboard , but exist on the portal for ArcGIS 10.7

I was able to fix the issue by using different font and update this in the dashboard "app-dark-xx.css" and "app-light-xx.css" CSS files

I think the best solution could be, download the latest avenue font (used on AGO) and replace the on premise portal font with the AGO version.
