I'm not a web dev. Is what is displayed in the font tab (also Proxima Nova for me) what is actually used on screen? Or does the browser do its own substitutions

- bombcar 1y agoIf you look in Inspect it’ll show “as rendered” somewhere. As a developer you can tell it what fonts to use, in a a particular order: “my font, closest default font, a windows font that’s ok, anything sans serif” is often what is used.
- michalpleban 1y agoBrowsers can download fonts from the web and use them to display text on web pages. You can Google "Web fonts" to get a lot of info, but basically you just put the font file on your server and the browser downloads it and uses it.
