Tab/Address bar font changed accidentally.
Reported by chaosr...@gmail.com, Sep 14 2015 Back to list
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/45.0.2454.85 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. N/A
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
So, I was installing a bunch of new fonts, and somwhow managed to change the font for my address bar, and tabs. No where else in chrome, or windows has had this change. Firefox and all other apps have their normal fonts. None of chromes font settings have had any effect on this. Ive tried reinstalling, and resetting all of chrome settings to default, with no luck.

I wouldn't really mind this as much if I could read it without having to lean into my screen. But I can't figure out how to change the font, or even adjust the size.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 45.0.2454.85  Channel: n/a

Inorder to further investigate the issue, kindly provide detailed steps, Chrome Version on which this issue is seen. Also, let us know if you have installed any extensions ?

I actually figured out what caused it. For some odd reason Chrome is using
whatever font I install last. And this occurs with no extensions enabled as
well. This is the first time I've installed fonts since upgrading to
windows 10 so I can only assume it has something to do with that.
This looks similar to  issue 516040 .

I have the same problem, but I didn't install any fonts whatsoever. It just happened suddenly and I have no clue for a workaround.

This issue looks pretty similar to the issue "516040". Hence merging it.

Thank you.
Same here after updating to Windows 10 1511. 100% scaling in Chrome results in tiny text. For both the interface elements and the webcontent. Regardless if I use chrome on my secondary screen (100% scaling) or on the screen of my notebook (125% scaling). Before the update texts where definitely bigger.

I've had this exact issue persist across clean installs on Windows 10, 8.1, and 8 on my work notebook which has a NVIDIA GeForce graphics chip which leads me to believe it is hardware related.

Purchased a new Yoga 900 with Windows 10 and installed Chrome. Tab fonts are too small to read and cannot make any changes

I have the same issue, but i am under ubuntu. I did a big update, but I don't remember if the issue was before, or after the update.

This happened to me today. Windows 10, Chrome. Installed a few fonts, then Windows 10 had an update, so I had to restart. When I came back, my font is the last font I installed moments ago, and I can't switch it back. Reinstalling doesn't work, and I installed Canary to see if it'd be different there. It is not. Somehow, Chrome has set this crazy-ass font I installed (for graphic design purposes) to the font on display for tabs, titles and menus. This is making it pretty hard to use Chrome, for obvious reasons.
I'm having the same problem. I did not install any fonts, nor have I done anything overt to my machine, but suddenly the font used by the browser itself (not the font scaling for web pages) is very small and difficult to read. How can I fix this?
