Windows 10 displaying the wrong font

0

Windows 10 has started displaying the wrong fonts in certain areas, most frequently tab labels and some other dialog boxes. It should be displaying Segoe UI instead of what I think is MS Sans Serif.

To reiterate, 99% of the fonts are the correct font face and size; only a handful of cases seem to revert to stupidly large MS Sans Serif.

I managed to solve this problem once before by tweaking some regional or language setting back to US (from Australia). Unfortunately, I can't seem to replicate the fix by doing what I did before, and I cannot find any useful information, as just about every search is just full of more general font-scaling or blurry-font issues.

This question closely describes my problem, but for Windows XP, and the suggested resolution does not work in my case.

Examples

  • Stupidly big tab labels
    npp
    ssms2

  • Stupidly big dialog text
    ssms1

Try CCleaner Software font cache cleaning and restart your pc see if the problem persists.

hi did you solve the problem ? – mussdroid – 2016-08-09T20:42:58.503

The issue fixed itself before I had a chance to do anything. As such I believe it was most likely some sort of caching issue as you suggested, so I've marked your answer as accepted. – md4 – 2016-08-09T23:30:56.000
