I work with my own and client websites as part of my marketing services. Mainly, I want to see all websites the way they were designed to be seen.

Chrome seems to force me to choose font settings, but I don't want my preferred font settings - I want to see the fonts chosen by the webmaster for that given website. I.e. if they used Arial, I don't want to see Tahoma.

How do I get rid of custom font settings in Chrome?

Every browser, (including Internet Explorer 6) has default font settings. For example, on Firefox is in option, content. (third tab)

This is for when the webmaster did not set a font on the page.

Some browsers just offer no choice, have prefefined fonts for the page.

Chrome won't replace any font websites.

What maybe you have got is a problem when you install "complex" fonts like Helvetica neue with all of its 51 variants on Windows - font rendering will change a lot in browsers.

  • Appreciate the input. But, I have to disagree. Im on chrome and viewing 3 sites that I personally designed. And, factually can say they are all "google" fonts. Yet, the fonts do not appear in chrome as they are written in the css on the actual website. I go to chrome "advanced" settings and can manipulate the font setting to match the website... but my issue is, why should I have to? And, when I do, the other websites I visit now are viewed with the new font settings.This is all new to me. Is it new to chrome? I don't want custom fonts. I just want what the website has intended visitors to see

    I never seen a such problem. Maybe you enabled some accessibility feature? Feb 14, 2013 at 17:53
