"look strange" and "seems replaced" do not help much to tackle the problem.
Personally, I don't find that the fonts are strange on your screen captures.

Anyway, your browser has likely an option to choose the default font; does this help?

I see you're using Brave. I can only think of two things:
1. Try Changing font settings in brave://settings/fonts
If that doesn't help, then
2. Try disabling hardware acceleration in brave://settings/system

OK! I found the solution for Brave: setting all fonts from TimesNewRoman to Arial, can I do this for the entire system??

Arial fonts are Microsoft’s property and they're not present in most distros by default. Are Arial fonts installed? Check with

apt policy ttf-mscorefonts-installer

If the output shows: installed: None you can then install them with

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

What is ttf-mscorefonts-installer?

ttf-mscorefonts-installer is a Debian package that includes the following set of fonts, and with the help of this installer, you can easily download and use Microsoft’s True core fonts.

    Andale Mono
    Arial Black
    Arial (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
    Comic Sans MS (Bold)
    Courier New (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
    Georgia (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
    Impact
    Times New Roman (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
    Trebuchet (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
    Verdana (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
    Webdings
