Change Font and Font Size in Google Chrome

You can adjust various settings in the Google Chrome browser to customize Google Chrome to your liking. This way you can change the font and set the minimum and maximum font size.

Setting a different font in Google Chrome can affect the default font in a specific website. However, this is not always the case. Please note that if you change the default font in Google Chrome, this font setting will only be applied to websites that have not applied a font themselves.

Google Chrome distinguishes between four types. That is the standard font, the serif font, sans-serif font and a fixed width font (monospace). These are four types that can be applied to websites. By adjusting these fonts in Google Chrome, a different font can be set for each type.

You can also adjust the font size. The font size is always applied to the websites you visit.

You can then indicate in Google Chrome what the default font size should be, and you can also set what the minimum font size should be. This prevents certain websites from displaying a font that is too small.
