Update making fonts look weird and jagged

    I’v updated the theme but now it seems that it’s adding a font I don’t recognise. I can’t find where to edit it. When I inspect it in the browser it shows:
    font-family: “ＭＳ Ｐゴシック”,”Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro”,”ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3″,sans-serif;

    How can I fix this? It’s causing my italic font to look weird and jagged, in fact plain awful!
    I know member jmamuzich found the answer in the style sheet but didn’t write down the solution!

    https://www.windsoralbion.co.uk is our address. It looks ok on a mac but in Linux or Windows the font looks italic and dotty ! Thanks for any help by the way…

    Did you try changing the font-family property ?

    To be honest I think Im at a loss to what im looking for. There are so many fonts in the style sheet!

    Hi dafyddpaul,

    Are you sure about windows?
    I can′t see any weird and jagged font here.

    this is a screenshot of what I see:

    I think you changed the font already, let me know.

    Hi Bensita, I have just looked at your screenshot. I see the same if I am using my mac or Linux but in windows it is giving this type of output. I think it’s a font that is not naturally found in windows which the dev put in the Lighninig theme.
    “font-family: “ＭＳ Ｐゴシック”,”Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro”,”ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3″,sans-serif;” jmamuzich (member also had this problem)

    This is what I am see from Windows

    Hi Dafydd,

    I saw your screenshot. The font looks like “ＭＳ Ｐゴシック” (MS P Gothic), which had been used as the default UI font for older versions of Japanese Windows. (The other two fonts, “Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro” and “ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3”, are Japanese fonts for Macintosh.)

    If your device does not have these Japanese fonts, then the last one (“sans-serif”) will be used and the default sans-serif font in your device will be applied to the page. But I guess your Windows has MS P Gothic font file, something like msgothic.ttc, and you see this weird and jagged font in your browser. (I don’t know why you have msgothic font file, but Japanese language pack might be installed before you know.)

    If you are using “VK All in One Expansion Unit” plug-in in your WordPress site, I think you can redefine the font assignment by entering something like the following css code into the “CSS Customize” page of VK All in One Expansion Unit.

    body * {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

    Hope this helps.
