Windows 10: Web fonts - rendering using a font that's not installed

I've been trying to resolve an issue across all web browsers in my W11 system: certain fonts are rendering as Edwardian Script, which isn't even a font that's presently on my system.

Google Chrome with Font Rendering Enhancer

Hi! I was using both Edge w/Chrome (where i have this extension as well) and Firefox...I've mentioned (and others agree) that Firefox's web page rendering is much better than Chrome's...Once the Google Chrome extension called "Font Rendering Enhancer" is added..What a difference...Than Chrome or Chrome Base browsers look as good as Firefox...

By better i mean that fonts on web pages have a darker and sharper look and even photos have a slightly richer look to them...

I downloaded the latest Chrome the other day and added the extension...It's fast, snappy and with the extension has the quality now....In fact, i started using it as my main browser *Smile

I was wondering if anyone else here has tried the extension on their Chrome (or Edge/wChrome) installation and what you think of it and if you haven't tried it, would suggest you do and report back...It's easy to remove if you decide you don't want it (takes about 30 sec to delete it)...

Be sure to refresh (go in and out) of your browser, after you install it, so that it will "kick in"....*Wink

When you go to the Chrome Extension Store, and do the search for it, there are two shown...it is the first one on the list...

Hmmm..surprised no one is even interested in at least trying it... *sarc
