Hello Everyone. I've noticed that there are some select sites on my browsers that display an odd cartoony font. I cannot pinpoint which exact font. I am wondering why this is happening and what I can do to resolve this issue. I have 3/4 browsers on my system showing this font with firefox being the exception. Edge, Chrome, and Opera all display this font and I know its the wrong font because some websites I access on other devices display the normal default fonts, not this cartoon stuff.
I kind of don't know where to do and all I've done is check browser fonts which there are none apart from the default values and turn off my browser extensions. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
The odd font:
 
Interesting: appears to be a fantasy font.

Reference:

https://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/fonts.en.html

Scroll down the pages to that list of examples.

= = = =

Open the select website(s) and in an open area, do a right click.

A window menu should appear and in that window should be a choice "View Page Source"

Click that choice.

Objective being to scan through the underlying code to find the font that was selected by the developer.

Look for the words "font", "text" - anything suggestive of what the developer intended to use.

Could be some font that is not always being correctly recognized and the browsers (except for Firefox) simply present what they determine (however that is done) as the most applicable/comparable font.

Identifying that odd cartoony font is the starting point.

Hi,

After thorough examination I cannot find a font that would resemble what I am seeing from the Page Source. I also noticed that some programs installations also have this font during the installation process. I'm thinking there is something wrong with my OS or Registry. I noticed also when I went into Inspect and Disabled the default fonts it returned back to a normal font.
