You can block remote fonts in uBlock Origin. Websites will display your default font. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-remote-fonts

Then the page is messed up with mojibake because sites now encode their cutesy icons as fonts. Usually I just deal with it but sometimes the icons are needed to use the site.

I have found this rule template:

[DOMAIN]##*:style(font-family: "[FONT]" , !important; src: local([FONT]) !important;)

Of course you need to install the websites font locally before.

Oh that's interesting. I'll look into how to do that. Thanks.

Did not know that, sorry. Maybe someone else will be able to answer your question.
