No serif system font in Android 12? - General Questions and Answers

I upgraded my Pixel 3a to Android 12 last night - stock OTA. Noticed today that websites that specify serif fonts for elements (and including the generic 'serif' fallback, so it's not a question of missing specific fonts) are now all displaying as sans-serif, both in Firefox in Chrome. Is this a general Android 12 issue, or is something up with my phone? And if it's a general Android 12 thing, are there Magisk or Xposed modules I can install to restore serif fonts? It's really messing with me.
(if you need an example, https://momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org should be entirely in serif)
EDIT: just to add - I'm aware of the Font Manager Magisk module, but that doesn't solve the problem because if I install a serif font though that, I then don't have sans-serif text anywhere. I want websites to be able to use both, which feels like it shouldn't be a big ask in 2022...

[Q] Adding and changing fonts

I'm rooted and running stock Sammy Rom and want to change the system Font without using an app which hogs memory. I'd like to add new fonts to the existing list under display. I've read this can be done using the system/display folder but I can't find it. What are the technicalities of adding fonts?
It'd also be nice to be able to tweak/scale the font size (in pixels) and with more options than the stand list. Is this also possible?
Edit: Dohhhh, didn't even see the 'Get Fonts Online' option in the settings menu. What a plank......I'd delete the question if I could.
Saying that I'd still like to install Google Now's 'Roboto' italic natively rather than through a font changer. It's not listed in the Play Store as a 'Flipfont'.

Apps are quit from opening after ONLY fonts are twoken

Firstly I wanna attempt once the Noto 6.0.1 emoji but unsupported. But issues of fonts are not a major issue to me.
My element is that ROM toolbox (J-rummy), some Cyanogen extensions, every games are thus quit to the home theme.
This error is strange, only after a tweak to fonts.
Pathetically there are not yet solutions online, since there is not an easy phrase to express this error.
My machine is Crater (Samsung) and my system is CM12.1.

Change the timepicker style systemwide from scrolling to round

My Honor 9 with EMUI 5 has the old timepicker style, referred to as the "spinner". But all new android versions use the "clock" type, which is a lot more intuitive and requires less time to set the desired value.
Any idea on how to force-set the "clock" type systemwide in android? Maybe by editing build.prop in some way?
Still nothing new - anyone got an idea?
Bump
I have the exact same question, for the exact same reasons. This is my only major complaint. I have the Huawei Elate, running Nougat.

SEVERAL Questions About ROM Editing (Please Read If You're Experienced)

What Does A Custom ROM DEPEND on?
So unfortunately my phone, being an amazon phone, isn't a popular device and has NO custom roms available, I struggled to find a TWRP file but I FINALLY found one. Does the rom depend on architecture? Chip? Screen Size? Camera? What makes a BV A80 Pro (Same phone just a slightly differnt chip and the Pro doesn't have NFC) lineage os ROM (BV A80 Pro has an LOS Custom ROM) not work on a BV A80 Plus? I couldn't find an answer on google and I know people here are smart (Except me) I really want Lineage OS, Havoc OS, Bliss or AOISP. How would I get one of these on my device?
Upgrading to android 11 or 12:
My phone has Android Q and I asked the company if my phone will ever receive an update past Q, They said no and I don't have the money to go buy a new phone. I flashed an A11 GSI in TWRP but it says "Cant flash system files to system" or something like that. How would I update it to A11?
System Apps:
Bloatware, Bloatware, BLOATWARE! I HATE IT! I don't know what flash file to edit, nor do I know how I would go about editing it so that I can remove the bloatware and add some apps. Help here would be great!
Aesthetics Editing:
So I recently rooted my phone (BV A80 Plus), and I only rooted my phone because I specifically bought the red version of that phone because I like red. Unfortunately, all the buttons, volume panel, settings app text, toggle switches and quick settings tiles are blue. Its not an attractive contrast and I wanted a way to make that blue accent a nice red. I tried the Dev options accent color, but it doesn't change every accent, it only changes the text accent. Everything else stays blue. I tried Swift installer AND substratum, but those tiles still stay blue... So I looked into my phones System UI apk, and I found that there is a separate color input for the tiles under res/values/colors. I don't know how to change that color so I guess I'm asking for a little help with that.
Is Another UI Possible On Stock Android?
Is it possible to replace the boring stock UI with a different one? Like One UI or Mi UI?
Sorry for the long post

Changing Font For Every App (Root)

Hello All,
I've decided that I want to change my font throughout my whole device. I created a magisk module that basically replaced my system fonts. It appeared I only had 3 system fonts.
Roboto, OnePlus Sans, and One Sans.
I have most apps successfully changed but certain fonts are still unaffected such as unread email, browsers, and even my always on display.
I have included what I thought was every variety of these 3 fonts such as Roboto-Italic, roboto-bold - about 30 more variety if you get what I'm saying.
Does anyone have a master list in case I've missed a few? Or a easier way to achieve this?
If it matters the font I'm using is KG Feeling 22.
Thank you.
@BillGoss you helped me with the last module for my custom dpi maybe you have some suggestions?
Thank you so much.
Sorry, but I can't help you with this.

I suppose some apps, don't only use system fonts, but also have built-in ones.
Changing built-in app fonts may be difficult. I don't think changing font for all apps is possible, but i may be wrong.
In general system fonts you can replace via magisk modules (but you already know it).
