Customize per-script font settings.
What is Advanced Font Settings?
'Advanced Font Settings' is a Chrome extension that provides the user with the ability to customize per-script font settings. This means you can designate distinct fonts for different language scripts like Simplified Chinese, Cyrillic, Japanese, and more. The extension targets scripts rather than languages, making it applicable across multiple languages that use the same script. For instance, one single setting can apply to all languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, like Russian and Ukrainian. The extension works when the web page declares the content language and hasn't specified a font.

Summary
This extension allows you to customize font settings for different language scripts. For example, you can set the default font for Simplified Chinese content to be different than the font for Japanese content. The settings are per-script (as specified in ISO 15924) rather than per-language. For example, there is a single setting for Cyrillic script rather than separate ones for Russian, Ukrainian, etc.
Chrome will use the font settings controlled by this extension when BOTH of the following are true:
- The web page has declared the language of the content (e.g., by using the HTML lang attribute); and
- The web page has not specified a font to use.
To use this extension, add it to Chrome and then go to chrome://extensions and click on the "Options" link for this extension.
