How to Fix Font Bugs in Windows 10/11

Thanks for the link. I think the blogger there is a Sophist being so self assured any of his methods will resolve font issues.

I could not perform most of the tasks mentioned like:

• install the Arial font (no option to install, only copy and delete but you can't delete because it's a protected file)

• delete the FNTCACHE.DAT (didn't do anything)

• rebuild the Font cache and stop the Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0 service (I don't have this service)

• used the FontRegTool, it did nothing

• Rebuilt the font cache by deleting the files in %windir%ServiceProfilesLocalServiceAppData. nothing changed

I didn't like the registry tweak and I wasn't prepared to jeopardize my system based on the blogger's claims.

*bump*

I just "upgraded to Windows 11". The font issue remains.

Does anyone have any guess what the heck is going on?

Hello Sammy,

I have no idea what's going on and FYI all Windows 11 questions should be posted on our sister forum:
Windows 11 Forum

Thanks.

Hi, I understand that, the issue occured in W10 as well, so it's not unique to W11. I will create another thread in the W11 forum, just the same. Thanks

I think the Arial font is corrupt. It's a system font which is protected.

I would like to see how that site looks on my PC, can you put up the link?
