I don't think so, if you look at the right hand side of this screenshot:
https://alastairc.ac/images/examples/adobe-text-override.png (and zoom in on the right side).

> All you need is  <style> * {font-family: "Whatever" !important;} </style> inserted in the last position of the <head> element and the test will give you a true or false.

I don't think that helps, you the user *can* change the font family of text, that is not in dispute. What matters is whether the content is still usable afterwards.

Cheers,
