myxi (ID: 00000052dcfa1450) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/25/2023 Works just as I wanted. It lets me use the fonts I installed on my system, unlike other extensions which limit me to some they have hard-coded in the extension. Also, if you want to apply it to only a few sites rather than all, you simply have to restrict its access to only those sites from the extension settings of your browser. I have seen people give bad review because they are too ignorant to know this, so I'm educating these people. Thanks for the simple and lightweight extension.

E W (ID: 000000cdd05f2abd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/06/2023 OMG, Thank you!!!!! This has been making me CRAZY for weeks!!!!! Ever since I got my new AIO desktop computer and it's running Windows 11 and websites that display completely fine on my laptop (which is still running Windows 10), and display fine on my Android tablet, now show HUGE pixels instead of text -- but only on certain websites and only for certain text, like a Head or subhead. I tried everything from loading the affected font to setting specific fonts in Chrome and nothing worked -- UNTIL THIS!!! (FYI, I use Chrome as my default browser but it also does it in Microsoft Edge.) I can't tell you the number of hours -- no, it must be days-worth by now -- that I've spent searching the web for a solution for this. And this fixed it in mere minutes! (at least for the sites that I already know have a problem). WOW! Thanks!!

Taq Seorangpun (ID: 000000e89c39bb00) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/12/2023 The only font replacement tool that really works. It would be helpful if the could be configured per website, since some websites show distortions when their fonts are replaced.

Akaki H. (ID: 000000c4b1a3cbf3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/01/2022 Simple. Works. Works with custom-installed fonts. This is one of the first add-ons I reinstall any time I get a new computer. I use it to globally enable a special font made for visually impaired and/or dyslexic people, so I can then view the internet and do my work while using relatively normal font sizes instead of like size 35 font. It does occasionally mess up some sites, specifically ones that use fonts to show symbols (like play or fast forward buttons) or text input forms (like Google Docs) so I wish there was a blacklist url function, but it's easy enough to get around by just temporarily disabling the extension.
