If you’re using a web browser, you probably have a few different default fonts set up. One of the most common is the default font in your browser, which is typically Times New Roman. If you want to change this font, there are a few ways to do it. The first way is to open your browser’s Preferences and select the Default Fonts tab. There, you’ll see a list of all of the browsers’ default fonts. To change the font for Times New Roman in one of these browsers, just click on the desired font and then click on Change Font. The second way to change the default font in your web browser is by using a keyboard shortcut. To do this, open your keyboard’s preferences and select the Keyboard tab. There, you’ll see all of the keyboard shortcuts that your web browser supports. To change the default font for Times New Roman in one of these browsers, just type Ctrl-F5 into your keyboard’s search bar and then press Enter.
While changing your browser’s font may not be the most pressing issue, sometimes it is fun to make a change. That’s why we are going to teach you how to change the default font in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
Note: the instructions for Chrome and Firefox should work in any operating system. Obviously Internet Explorer only runs on Windows, so these settings would only work there.
Changing Chrome’s Font
In order to change the font in Google Chrome, you will need to access the “Font and Language Settings.” Begin by opening up your browser, clicking on the three parallel lines on the top right of the window, and then click on “Settings.”
Scroll down until you get to the “Web Content” section and click on “Customize fonts.”
Alternatively, you can just enter chrome://settings/fonts into your browser and hit “Enter.” Now you can change all your font settings.
Change the fonts as needed and press “Done” then restart your browser.
Changing Firefox’s Font
If you are running Firefox as your main browser, you can edit the fonts in just a few simple steps. Begin by pressing the three horizontal bars on the top right corner of your browser, then select “Options.”
Next, you will need to click on the “Content” tab and select your font from the list of available fonts in the drop-down menu.
From this window you can also change the font size and colors. If you click on the “Advanced” button, you can also edit the following settings.
Note: make sure to leave the box checked for “Allow pages to choose their own fonts” or else a lot of the web will be broken. Many sites, including this one, use icons that are actually implemented as custom fonts.
Changing Internet Explorer’s Font
If you are an IE user, you can also change the font settings of your browser in a few simple steps. Begin by pressing the small gear on the top right corner of your browser, then click on the “Internet Options” button.
Now look to the bottom of the popup window and select “Fonts.”
Now you can change your webpage and plain text fonts as desired.
We hope you have found this tutorial useful. Have fun experimenting with different fonts and settings with your browser. Find something that suits your personality and make your browser your own.
