Changing fonts in Safari 12

Just upgraded to Mojave and now Safari 12 is using Times Roman as the default font on many websites I visit. Noticed that the Appearance tab in Safari Preferences is no longer there, so how do I get back the nicer fonts I used to see on websites visited using Safari?

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

Safari fonts: Verdana not rendering Verdana is not rendering correctly in Safari 12, now that I have upgraded to Mojave. I found this reply in another conversation. It is the same situation for me: "After looking at Verdana in Font Book I noticed that two versions were installed. One inside the default /Library/Fonts folder which had been disabled and one inside /Library/Fonts/Microsoft. Font Book "resolved" these duplicates (I assume when Mojave was installed) by disabling the default /Library/Fonts file." The answer suggests right-clicking on the 'Off' font (the one in /Library/Fonts file) and selecting 'Enable'. But when I try that, 'Enable' is not one of the options, only 'Disable'?? What else is possible here please?

Apple removed Appearance tab from Preferences a while ago.

I think the Appearance tab disappeared from Safari at least 4 years ago. If you really need to change fonts, use FireFox or Chrome.
