Google Inbox is another interface available for your Google emails or Gmail. There are a couple of ways in which you can change how your Google Inbox emails look like. If you want to customize it by using different fonts, you can do so either directly in Gmail’s settings or through your browser’s settings. If you opt for the latter though, the change in font will be applied to all the web content across all web pages, not only in your Google Inbox.
Steps
Go to Gmail. Visit the Gmail website (mail.google.com. Google Inbox doesn’t have a direct setting or configuration to change fonts, so this has to be done in Gmail.
Sign in. Under the “Sign In” box, type in your Gmail email address and password. This is your one Google ID for all of Google’s services. Click the “Sign in” button to proceed. If you’re already signed in to your Google account, this step won’t be necessary.Advertisement
