What is the Google Chrome address bar font? - google-chrome

I think I'm using the last Google Chrome version, which is 8.1. What is the font of the address bar? I'm on Windows 10.

You can find it in Settings. Go to Advanced Settings and there is a place you can set the fonts and see what are the fonts that are being used. (On mac it's Preferences > Settings > Advanced Settings). See https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/uBAYr4WmZXU to confirm you can check font that way. Hope it helps.

According to me, the easy way to find a font is to do a printscreen of it, and then use a font finder like https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
It will analyse the text and gives you all matching fonts.

Why Chrome display a random font instead the correct one?

I'm having this annoying problem, when I visit certain sites, are displayed wrong fonts, it's like something is overwriting my fonts. Checking in the console, I see that in the displayed fonts section, there is a font that i have locally installed on my pc, but i'm sure that isn't the right font to display.
Screenshot of the problem
I've checked all default font options on chrome settings and also if is a plugin doing this... but I can't find a solution. I also tried to temporary disable local fonts with the dev-console and it solves the problem, I don't really know why uses this fonts instead the correct ones. Any ideas ?

Google Chrome: use 1 font for every website

I am using Chrome for a very long time now and I happy with it. Unfortunatly they discontinued the DirectWrite option. This is hell for people that aren't using Clear type fonts. Most fonts are messy now.
I want a Stylish sheet that replaces all website fonts with Arial. So I want every website to display the Arial font. I don't know how to do it.
Thanks! :-)
I am not sure whether you can do this through chrome settings, but I found a great extension FontChanger that does the trick

Some gmail fonts unreadable under Google Chrome 37 (CentOS 7)

Here's some example text from gmail under Google Chrome v37.0:
Here's the same message text from gmail under Opera v12.16:
MS core fonts are installed.
Here is Google Chrome's advanced font settings
I configured Gmail under the settings section, but that only defines default outbound font behavior and not what is shown from other users.
Is there a way to clean up the font issue under Chrome?
You might be seeing this Chrome bug which sounds similar:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=374818
I recommend you star it (in the top left) to follow any developments and maybe comment if you have info to contribute.
According to the comments there it affect the latest Chrome 37 version in Linux, and this problem indeed appear in gmail.
You can try the workaround suggested there:
j.lasock...#intrallect.com:
For a bit of a tedious workaround, you can use stylebot to apply global stylesheets to chrome
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylebot/oiaejidbmkiecgbjeifoejpgmdaleoha
and
twelve.e...#gmail.com:
Just to expand on #4 above, specifically for Gmail users, if you install stylebot and use the following rule, you'll have at least a workaround for Gmail (assuming you like OpenSans). I'm not sure if this bug is even tracked by the devs anymore, since it's still sitting in "unconfirmed" status.

css:
div {
font-family: OpenSans;

Can I disable my local font in chrome?

I work on a system who always bug with the google font load, but i can't see when the font is not loaded because I have all these font in local (for Photoshop) so the font look like good on my computer.
So, I would like to disable all these font in chrome so I can see quickly if the google font is correctly load or not.
Do you think it's possible ??
Thank you
PS: Excuse my english, i'm French.
Rather than disabling the fonts on your side of things, why not use the font API in Chrome or Opera and have run through all the fonts that have been specified as follows?
document.fonts.ready.then(function(set) {
// Log that the fonts are loaded
console.log(set);
var t;
for(var t of set.entries()) {
console.log(t);
}
});
The FontFaceSet will tell you if the font has been loaded or not.
On Chrome/Brave you can now see where the font was loaded from. Go to view —> developer –> inspect elements –> make sure the elements tab is selected –> select the computed sub-tab –> scroll to the bottom and look for rendered fonts. If it's a local file it'll say YOUR_FONT – local file.
Bonus:
If using a Mac, then you can disable the local font in the Font Book application. Just open that app, then find the font you want to disable, right click, and select Disable "YOUR_FONT" Family. Then refresh the page and you should see what the user without that font will see.

All browsers displaying italic text when not supposed to

I am having a problem with my browsers (Safari, Chrome, and FF) displaying text in italics when it's not supposed to be italicized. This is happening on multiple sites including Google sites (Google, YouTube) as well as sites I have built and others (godaddy email, ford.com, even stackoverflow). Surprisingly though, it is not happening with my time tracker site (freeagent.com).
I have no idea what's going on. I have not installed any new software recently nor any new fonts. I am running Mac OS X lion.
I had the same problem where all the email titles were bold in my GoDaddy Email, on several browsers and only at one computer. It all happened after installing Suitcase Fusion and copying over a font library to that specific computer. I followed Lisa's suggestion and permanently turned on another version of Arial (TrueType, version 3.05) and it did the trick: all the email titles are back to normal (bold if unread, regular if read).
I've been having this problem... text bold and italic in all browsers, websites, twitter, even emails... what I did to fix it was make sure that Arial was turned on permanently in my Suitcase... it should have been anyway as a system font I guess but who cares because it fixed it!
Check your Safari Preference (Command-,), and navigate to Appearance tab, double check and make sure that the Standard font is non-italic font. Mine is Times 16. Hope this helps.
In chrome to solve this you have to do the following:
paste address bar the following and hit enter: chrome://flags#disable-direct-write
Under Disable DirectWrite Windows click "Enable" (this will disable DirectWrite in fact (background becomes white)
A button labeled "Relaunch Now" at the bottom of your screen will apear. Click that button and will relaunch Chrome with the new settings, and the text should appear normal after this.
Recently had this problem on my Windows 7 machine, while running Google Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 m. None of the other fixes mentioned here worked for me.
Turns out that an installed application had reregistered some basic fonts, which lead to Chrome not being able to find the fonts. In my case it was NewspaperDirect's PressReader (which I don't recall ever installing), that modified the registry so some basic fonts pointed to .ttf files stored in PressReaders program files folder.
Fix
Run regedit.exe (with admin privileges)
Navigate to the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts".
Scroll through the list of fonts, and locate any that are similar to "C:\Program Files (x86)\NewpaperDirect\PressReader\publisher\Styles\Fonts[font name].ttf"
Right click the value name and choose Modify....
Remove the directory path, so that all that remains is the file name "[font name].ttf".
Repeat 4 and 5 for all bad registry values.
Restart Chrome.

if you have same problem with other browsers too, it may because of some errors in your fonts in windows. try to reinstall default windows font in your font folder (c:/windows/fonts). you can copy default font from another pc or download it from here :
