Comment (by jerclarke):

 Thanks for testing it! FWIW like I said I can't replicate the log message
 on my local site, only on the server.

 What I can replicate everywhere (custom theme+plugins, no plugins with
 twentytwentyfive) is the fact that when I visit `wp-admin/load-styles.php`
 the `$path` is empty and so is the `$font_family`, which explains why the
 error is thrown on the live server/

 I tried both empty `wp-admin/load-styles.php` and your more realistic one
 with all the URL variables, same result in terms of the `null` variables
 (though of course the long version renders actual styles unlike the plain
 version).

 Also confirmed with 6.9.1.

 Very strange. There's no way to view logs in playgrounds, is there? It's
 hard to have more platforms where I can test this with a debugger, maybe
 it's something in common between my local mac running Valet and our Ubuntu
 server, but it's kind of hard to imagine.

 I guess if you want to close this you can. I thought it would be easy to
 reproduce on other systems because it's so reliable across the ones I'm
 using.
