Fonts look different on different computers

  • I downloaded this plugin and changed all my headers and post titles to “Century Gothic.” I did all this on my MacBook Pro 2012. Today, I got the MacBook Pro 2017. I went on my website and all the headers and titles are appearing as Times New Roman. But when I went to Customize>Typography and checked what font it was, it was stilL “Century Gothic.” But while it says Century Gothic, it appears as Times New Roman. Why is this happening? Why do the fonts look different on different computers? Can I fix this? If so, how?

  • Read up on CSS selector specificity; if other CSS rules in your site are using more specific selectors than the ones you created in your Easy Google Fonts controls, those other CSS rules would then override yours.

    Another possibility is if your theme is creating media-specific or browser-agent-specific stylesheets.

    The beginning of tracking this kind of problem down usually involves opening up the developer tools window in your chosen browser (best, though, in Firefox or Chrome) and digging into which CSS rules are actually active on particular HTML elements, potentially also tracing them back to which stylesheet contributed the active rules.
