Describe the issue
On WebKit the system font is not called by Bootstrap, making some apps using Bootstrap and WebKit looking “weird” and not well-integrated on Linux systems, such as projects built with Tauri.
While this is mostly due to WebKit not supporting system-ui value yet (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178624), Bootstrap should probably use -webkit-system-ui within the default $font-family-sans-serif list.
As such, here are examples on Linux Mint with WebKitGTK 2.38.6.

This was discussed years ago with the very different Linux default font causing unexpected and inconsistent rendering issues. https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Ubuntu is the font I believe, and it's just so different looking. There are some old threads somewhere here that I can't find right now, but changes were made to deliberately not support that font.
