The problem is with your CSS, not with the page. This is not something
you can pin on the page author.
Taking that first "Line Length" heading, the markup for that is
<h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading" lang="en"><span
dir="auto">Line Length</span></h1>
So a <span> nested inside an <h1>.
Your custom CSS does set all h1, h2, h3 etc to comic sans, but then your
universal selector sets everything else to verdana. So the <h1> is comic
sans, but then then <span> inside the heading is set to verdana.
