If you accidentally deleted or replaced one or more system fonts in Windows, you can try to restore the default fonts. The issue of missing fonts can appear as follows: in system dialog boxes (and some other windows) instead of normal characters, you can see strange or unreadable symbols. In our example, these are hieroglyphs and squares. This problem can occur after a third-party app is uninstalled, which also deleted several system default font files (up to complete cleaning the font files folder C:\Windows\Fonts
). Also, the problem with fonts can occur when a certain program replaces one of the default fonts with its own one during installation.
