      Hi Har1,
      Thanks for coming.
      FYI, I've tested it in my Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 with Android 4.4 Kitkat but I believe it'll be the same with other Samsung Galaxy phones. To change the font in the stock Browser app (Internet app), use the following steps:
      1. Open the Internet app.
      2. Tap the Menu key and then select "Settings".
      3. Tap "Screen and text".
      4. Slide the bar under "Text scaling" to the right to increase the font size or to the left to decrease the font size.

      Hi Susan Jones,
      Thanks for coming.
      Do you remember what have you done before encountering this issue, e.g: change the settings, install any third-party app, etc?
      Have you tried performing clear cache and clear data for Internet app?
      Did other browser apps in your phone also display the webpage with that weird font?

      I have the same problem as well and I've been searching for a solution but have been unable to find one. Did you ever find a way to fix the issue?

      I found it! !

      Open up your browser (website doesn't matter )
      Hit your menu on the bottom left corner of your phone
      Then hit: settings
      Then: advanced
      Then:Legibility
      From there you will see the text scaling option you can adjust to a higher percentage and that is it!

      Hope it helps you and others =)

      Hi Brenda Bencomo,
      Thanks for coming.
      Text scaling option within the Internet app just lets us to change the font size, not the font style. FYI, I had received some screenshots from har1 via email. His issue was the font style, not the font size. Unfortunately, up till now, I still can't find the solution for his issue since there's no option to change the font style in the Internet app.
      However, I really appreciate you for willing to share your thought here. May God always bless you :)

      Hi Swingfly,
      Thanks for coming.
      I know some apps have their own font size options, for instance Messaging app, Internet app, Email app, but Contacts app has no option to change the font size therefore font size in the Contacts app should be back to normal size once you set the font size option in the display settings to normal size.
      However, try to change the font size in the display settings to another size and then change back to normal and then see whether the font size in the Contacts app is changed.
