Installing other OS fonts in Windows 10
Hello!
Sorry if this is the wrong place, please move the thread as appropriate.
I tried to install some fonts copied from an Ubuntu installation to a Windows 10 computer. I had all the fonts to a folder, selected them all, and then copy to C:\Windows\Fonts. It asked me to replace existing fonts, selected NO and check the box to do it for all fonts. I then saw the missing symbols symptom, where for example in IE 11 or Edge you see squares in place of the scrolling arrows. No matter what you do, there is no way to fix it within Windows 10 (or is there?) You have to boot from a live CD, go to C:\Windows\Fonts folder, delete all "Segoe---.ttf" files (maybe the symbol as well) and then copy them back from a working Windows 10 installation of from Windows 10 DVD. So beware, avoid copying fonts from Linux that are already present in your Windows 10 installation. If you see the C:\Windows\fonts folder from command prompt, all duplicates are shown by the original renamed to ..._0.ttf and the "new" version having the original name with small case.
