Yesterday I installed Windows 10 and suddenly only in Chrome my Hebrew font showed up as squares instead of Hebrew letters. How can I solve it?

*Note: it's only in Chrome version 44.0.2403.125

Type "about:flags" in the address bar and then enable "direct write". This should fix your font rendering issue.

This answer alone, saved me from having to reinstall windows and everything on my mom's laptop, 150KM away from here. Thank you.

FYI: I was having Hebrew displayed as squares in History and some websites like Office 365. – eitama – 2015-08-09T09:22:17.200

Open a new tab in Chrome and copy this to the address bar: chrome://flags/#disable-direct-write

The top of the page should say "Disable DirectWrite Windows". Click "Enable" right underneath it.

Restart Chrome when requested.
