Advanced Font Settings Extension

This extension allows you to customize font settings for different language scripts. For example, you can set the default font for Simplified Chinese content to be different than the font for Japanese content. The settings are per-script (as specified in ISO 15924) rather than per-language. For example, there is a single setting for Cyrillic script rather than separate ones for Russian, Ukrainian, etc.

Chrome will use the font settings controlled by this extension when BOTH of the following are true:
1) The web page has declared the language of the content (e.g., by using the HTML lang attribute); and
2) The web page has not specified a font to use.

To use this extension, add it to Chrome and then go to chrome://extensions and click on the \"Options\" link for this extension.

Matthew Kowal (ID: 00000089605ddace) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/09/2023 It does work, and works with custom fonts from your computer. To install a font on windows you double click on the file and click "install font" Unfortunately it is not very helpful for me, as I was looking to replace all Cyrillic with a handwritten script font and it only replaces undefined fonts. I have not seen it work on anything except for a few advertisements, and it does work on wikipedia The configuration menu is well done, and you can customize any script you would need or encounter side by side with other scripts Adding a font replace function would make this a 5 star extension.
