Use the Layers button on the right side of the map to switch layers. The map style you see in Overpass turbo is OpenStreetMap Carto, which is available as the Standard layer.

The place point for [Essaouira](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/245486763) is tagged `name=Essaouira ⵚⵚⵡⵉⵕⴰ الصويرة`. That’s why the Berber name shows up in most of the other layers.

The Berber name doesn’t show up in the Shortbread layer either. I don’t think that’s a MapLibre limitation; it shows up fine in [OSM Americana](https://americanamap.org/#map=10/31.5118/-9.7621), which is powered by the same client-side technology. The Shortbread layer’s Colorful stylesheet does use a different fontstack. If it lacks Tifinagh glyphs, I wonder why MapLibre isn’t falling back to system fonts.
