i have an issue where a html game's font is times new roman

-tnewroman is not a default font and i tried 3 browsers with the same result
-doesn't seem to be a common issue as nobody replied in the game's post. Candid Urban Muffs
-i don't remember any ingame options to change that and dev said that nothing in game code could lead to that
-i never had that issue with any other html game

mystery! any ideas.
missed font and rendered fonts issue

No clue. What does DevTools console say? If you hit F12 and select a string in Times New Roman, where does that style rule come from?

console is empty. what command to use?

the only thing i found body-styles
body, tw-story {
  1. font-family: Quicksand;
  2. font-size: 20px;
and similar

Once you open DevTools, right-click on any string in Times New Roman and select "Inspect".

so it should be some Quiksand?Freesans? ...though then this rendered fonts TNR o_o

///k apparently i dont have that quiksand on my win10 ... nothing in windows store.

Iirc Times New Roman is one of the typical fallback fonts on Windows. If your computer doesn't have one or more fonts (Quicksand, in your case), it may use it. I have Linux, my fallback fonts are different, that's why I couldn't replicate the error. :)
You can download the missing font for free from . Click the link on the top right corner (Download family), unzip the archive and install its content.

Your error is weird though, usually devs includes a copy of the fonts they use. This font is licensed under the Open Font License, they wouldn't even break any law if they shipped it with the game (provided that they adhere to license terms). :unsure:
