Wonky type in Safari on an old MacBook Pro 17"

Type/font in Safari on an old MacBook Pro 17' sometimes overlaps and sometimes has too much space between letters. Any idea how to fix this?

Mac Pro, OS X 10.11

Try going to applications > font book and doing file > restore standard fonts and then restarting.

Google search results have scrambled text in safari. I recently updated macOS to Sonoma, and since the update all google search results pages have scrambled text, as well as some other google pages(See below). It's only google pages, and only in safari (Chrome is fine). I can't find a solution anywhere other than it having something to do with the "Roboto" font causing a conflict, and that was in 2020, mainly affecting Chrome and other Google apps. I did have Roboto installed via Adobe Fonts. So I went and deactivated it. Sadly it did not resolve the problem. Is this a safari issue or a google issue? I'm on: Mac Studio 2022 M1 Max Sonoma 14.0
