Improve font appearance effectiveness in Edge
Whatever font I set in edge://settings/fonts
it won't get applied neither to the Edge setting pages nor to the website content
web content don't show any sign of custom font setting.
then based on what Thraetaona said:
it appears that : "Those font overrides only affect websites that do not specify any defaults (weather it's through stylesheets, CSS's @font-face or choosing from browser built-in fonts).
However they can still be overridden by preventing the browser from loading those custom fonts, that should force fallback fonts to be used instead."
now, I tried opening some 50 websites from my favorites list, among them only 3 of them was affected by the font change, the rest were already using custom and default fonts.
so my suggestion is, to make font settings in Edge more effective and actually useful, add a checkbox or switch in edge://settings/fonts
so that when user turns it on, the font settings will be forced and applied to all websites, even those using custom/default fonts.
it would be also useful if it was a site-based setting, so we could set a custom font for each website.
