Fonts are hard to read in Google Chrome. Have you use inspector to change font family on every page I visit

The fonts on my Google browser are hard to read.  When I go to any web site I have to use the inspector to change the font family to make text readable. For example, the font family on every page I go to is this.  "FormaDJRMicro,-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,sans-serif".  I have to change this in order to easily read text.

To set the default fonts in Chrome, click on the three-dot icon at the right end of the toolbar. Then choose Settings>Appearance>Customize Fonts. The Standard font covers all pages where the font hasn't been specified. The Sans-serif font will format pages where the last item in the font list is sans-serif, as in your example.

There are Extensions to do a lot of things in your browser.

Cannot recommend this because I've not tried it but it claims to automatically do what you want:

Hello @ John Korchok. Thanks for the info.  That was the 1st thing that I tried.  I set all my custom fonts to Ariel.  This did not work.  Sans-serif was not even an option in the list of fonts.  I attached an example of how my fonts look.User generated image

I just uninstalled Chrome and reinstlaled it.  I didn't delete browsing history on the uninstall.  But that didn't fix the problem. 

The looks more like an operating system font rendering problem. What OS are you running? How do other applications look on your system?

Did you try that extension?

Hello @ John Korchok.  Yes.  I think the same thing. I also noticed that it looks like that in Brave which is a Chromium browser.  This is a new install of Windows 11 Enterprise.  I have not installed anything else on this computer yet except Microsoft Office, Brave browser, Firefox Browser, Visual Studio and Sql Server Management Studio.   All other applications look ok.  Firefox Browser is displaying fine also. 



Hello @ slightwv (䄆 Netminder) .  I did not try the extension.  I was a little afraid of it because I have never heard of it. 

Is there a way I can reinstall my Operating system fonts?
