MacOS – How to switch Chrome to display web pages with the San Francisco font in El Capitan

fontgoogle-chromemacostext;

I'd like for Chrome's default sans-serif font for websites to be San Francisco. However it's not showing up in the font list. Any ideas for how to change this setting?

You will need to install the San Francisco font to be user-accessible. (See Can I use or access the San Francisco font that comes with El Capitan?) Once you do this, you will be able to set it as the default font in Chrome.

Before you go blocking fonts and so on, first check this page: http://www.google.com/webfonts

How you get rendered the fonts? On my chrome - without any problems, the chrome CAN render different fonts.

You can try these commands from the Terminal.app

sudo atsutil databases -remove
sudo atsutil server -shutdown
sudo atsutil server -ping

the above will remove your font cache. Work only in snow leopard!
