I'm seeing posts by "Greq Bernhardt" and "Borq" (q instead of g) because the descenders on the text in the post headings are getting lost.

Text descenders are the portions of letters that extend below the baseline, such as the tails of letters like "g" or "p". They are important in post headings because they can affect the readability and aesthetics of the text.
This can happen due to a variety of reasons, including font selection, font size, and line spacing. If the font chosen does not have a distinct descender for certain letters, or if the font size is too large and the line spacing is too tight, the descenders can appear to be cut off or missing.
One solution is to choose a font that has distinct descenders for all letters, and to adjust the font size and line spacing to ensure they do not overlap. Another option is to manually adjust the letter spacing to create more room for the descenders.
In most cases, no. Search engines typically do not rank headlines based on their style or design elements. However, if the missing descenders make the text difficult to read, it could potentially impact the user experience and indirectly affect SEO.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for this issue. It is best to experiment with different fonts, sizes, and spacing to find what works best for your specific headings. Keep in mind that readability and legibility should be the top priorities, so choose a font that is easy to read and maintains the integrity of the descenders.
