misrendered
Incorrectly drawn out
Misrendered describes something displayed, reproduced, or represented incorrectly.
In computing, a misrendered image or webpage appears distorted or broken because the software failed to process it properly: The font was misrendered on older browsers.
More broadly, anything can be misrendered—a translation that garbles the original meaning, a portrait that distorts its subject, audio that plays back wrong.
