+## Non-Existant Fonts
+
+If a font is specified for a chart that does exist on the system, the browser will not apply the font when it is set. If you notice odd fonts appearing in your charts, check that the font you are applying exists on your system. See [issue 3318](https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/issues/3318) for more details.
