How do I change a font setting on the Pixel 3?

[Joel Lynch]

I may be wrong but it looks like the problem font you reference may be in an image, is not text. Sometimes things that appear as header text and/or site style text are actually image files (e.g. .jpg) and, of course, there's no way to alter text in an mage.

Also, too, if you haven't already I suggest you take a look at APHont, a font developed by American Printing House for the Blind specifically for low vision readers. It helped me a lot when I had post-cataract surgery (aggravated by Fuchs Syndrome) issues. Good luck.

Thanks for directions me to APHont. Can it be used oh my pixel?

I don't know, haven't tried. I've only used it on computers. Perhaps with some launchers or if you've rooted your phone. There some info here. Googling can probably get you an answer.

Thanks, everyone, for all your suggestions.

Currently running Android 9 on a Pixel 3. I am frustrated with being able to figure out how to change a font display setting that seems to be pervasive across apps throughout the Android system. There are instances where content appears in letters and numbers that are simply outlined but not filled completely. I have a visual impairment so this is often difficult to read. How do I change a setting in Android 9 so that this content appears in the same manner as all other content across my apps and within Android?

You could only switch to a solid font. Go to settings, accessibility, experimental,then turn off high contrast text and you'll be back to a solid font.

Here's what you could do and I hope this helps.
Go to accessibility, turn off High contrast font.

I think he's going be ok. just saying he stuck without changing it ..no biggie

In Android Q/3 I can change to Noto Serif font in Developer Options. I wonder if that means in the final Android Q we'll have more font choices?

True, but I'm hoping this one has enough luck to not only make it but to add a few more fonts. Not that it makes a big difference to me. I wouldn't consider a Samsung to get fonts.

This appears to be exactly the issue, @Joel Lynch. It's just too bad it took so long for someone to give you the right answer.

Settings > Accessibility, scroll to the bottom and toggle high contrast font off.

Isn't it absolutely ludicrous they think *that* is a high contrast font?
