Windows 10: Fonts

Here is something I really don't understand. Maybe you guys, have the same issues as I am having.



I have been using Windows 10 for about.. well.. as long as it came out. Since it has come out, I've been learning more and more about the new updates as they have come, and found out new things along the way, that weren't even part of the update, but just things I had never learned before. You guys get it right? Technology, there's a lot there.
SO. Here's my dilemma.

I've been doing a lot of customizing for my own, "personal experience", and found that you can pretty much customize everything about your computer. From wallpapers, themes, backgrounds, lock screens and even the size of your font. However, there was one little itty, bitty, problem. You can't change the font style. This was irritating to me. Severely, irritating.

I decided to do some research and ask the little 'help' button as to why I couldn't do this and found someone else had asked that exact question 4 years ago! It's been 4 years and it hasn't been made available yet. So that leads me to wonder, why not? Why shouldn't people be able to customize EVERY aspect of their experience to make it one of a kind, when ios and android are allowed to do it?
Anyway, was just a little rant. Feel free to leave your comments on it, and even have a discussion, cause I'm seriously curious.

Bolded Font on Internet Browsers

Hi,

This issue may have been caused by a Windows 10 update that changed your font settings automatically. If you recently updated your operating system, we suggest that you follow these steps to see if the font will go back to normal:

• Type font in the search bar.
• Select Change Font settings.
• Click Restore default font settings.
