problem with fonts in Macrumors page

[zoran]

Chrome will not display fonts correctly in MacRumors.

Whenever I saw something like that at work, it was because someone was using a Font Manager to install a version of Helvetica that overrode the system version.

How can this be changed?

Restore fonts that came with your Mac using Font Book

I did a standard fonts restoration (with FontBook) and i got the attached message... but still the problem remains.

Does the issue occur in Safari?

Sure does!

Have you tried to restart your Mac after that?

If the problem still persists, you could try to clear the Font cache from Terminal

sudo atsutil databases -remove

or with Onyx - Maintenance - Fonts cache https://titanium-software.fr/en/onyx.html

I did the sudo command and the issue when away... what exactly did that sudo command do?

It deletes and rebuilds the font database. Quoting the manual, typos and all:

databases will remove fontd System or User databases along with any cache files. Removing databases may cause the loss of font registration state: fonts activated outside the standard font directories, font faces disabled, and font libraries. New databases will be regenerated from fonts installed the standard font directories after the user logs out, restarts, or the fontd server is restarted.

-remove remove fontd databases for active user and system (used when no one is logged in and some background processes).

It deletes the fonts I have installed?
