Font is different on real site from customizer and preview

I'm using comic sans on my website header and in all preview modes it shows up that way. However, when I look at my real site on my phone, it's definitely not comic sans. My URL is fitnessandhappinessforall.com

Why the heck is this happening? How do I fix it?

I'm seeing Comic Sans as well.

It could be that Comic Sans isn't installed on your phone (likely).

I pulled it up on a tablet and it was comic sans. But when I cleared my cache and again tried my phone AND tried my girlfriends phone, both display a non-comic sans font. I can easily compare it as my logo is comic sans. Perhaps you could look on a phone to confirm what I am seeing? How would I fix this? I don't even see a way to accidentally have different fonts on different screens?!

What kind of phones?

Thank you. sorry for delayed response. So, can I set up a backup font without CSS (this is my first website and I could only figure out how to set one font under customize/typography)? How? Do you happen to know which fonts are truly universal across os and device?

The backup font for Comic Sans is simply "sans-serif", which will choose the sans-serif font install on the device.

You would have to use CSS to set a different backup:

body {
    font-family: Comic Sans, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif;
}

Thank you! Your reputation for customer service is s big reason I selected your theme and is seemingly well deserved.

Could you clarify though, can I just copy and paste that code (with whatever font families in whatever order i want) into the css stylesheet? Is it that simple or am I missing something? Again, forgive me, this is my first website and I'm trying to utilize other resources that aren't you but I can't find a clear answer meant for total noobs.
