How do I change fonts in Fedora browsers?

Hey guys, I’m kinda new on Linux . My first os was Ubuntu ( it was nightmare) . Then later I shifted from pop os to Fedora and I’m liking it . But I noticed that the fonts that I get in my browser are just horrible. So I followed some github guide like " Fedora Noble Setup " . There he mentioned about the issues and his suggestio was using these corresponding commands,
" # Install dependencies
sudo dnf install -y curl cabextract xorg-x11-font-utils fontconfig

Install the fonts

sudo rpm -i --nodigest --nosignature Download msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm (mscorefonts2)

Update font cache

sudo fc-cache -fv "
I tried but for some reason the problem is still going on . I rebot my laptop :laptop: and still same . I don’t know what to do about that and can’t find much guide on that .

In Firefox settings, search ‘fonts’ and you can change the font in Firefox.

Do you also want to change fonts system-wide?

And “Appearance >> Customize fonts” should do the same in the settings screen for Chromium-based browsers.

Personally I haven’t found it necessary to install Microsoft fonts. I just set the browser defaults to something I like, so if a page tries to use a “missing” font then those defaults are used instead.
