I’ve been struggling to get Firefox to render text in a sans-serif font. So far, I’ve only been able to do that by setting the default font as sans-serif. DejaVu Sans Mono and DajaVu Sans are the only other listed fonts that I’m reasonalbly sure are sans-serif. Helvetica and Arial are not there.

sans-serif does work on Konqueror.

Does anyone know how to affect the font-family on Firefox 38.7.0 ?

  • When configuring fonts you are asked if you want to “Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above”. What did you choose?

  • Thank you. The option is hidden under an “advanced” button, but I finally found it. I changed it to allow.
