New Installation

After a major Desktop crash and a new computer, I re-installed WWB 19 a couple of weeks ago. I have just discovered that an old problem I had (Calibri and Segoe font missing). I can't remember how I fixed it in the past and can probably fix again, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on my website without installing the fonts, except the page load seems a little faster. So my question is, how detrimental is non-resolving the issue, and could it be?

These are Microsoft fonts, so they should be on your system by default.

Thankyou, I realise that, but the main question was 'how detrimental is non-resolving the issue, and could it be?'

The only issue I can think of from a user standpoint is that if the font is missing then the browser will default to the users system default font. In most cases it will probably look ok but there could be instances where text may look a bit off.

As these fonts are usually used to display symbols then if they are not installed then where you have used symbols they won't display correctly or not at all.
