  1. Custom fonts lack certain characters


    Have tried installing custom fonts recently. Everything was just fine, however literally all fonts lack some special characters in them. The ones I've found are "previous", "pause", and "next" in the windows player.

    Not sure how exactly to fix this, but maybe there's a way to change the font of just characters and numbers, so that windows' special characters would remain the unchanged?

  2. Anyone know how to make fonts?

    Exactly what the title suggests.

    Do I need a certain program or just to edit an existing font? And if so how do I do that?

    There is a certain style of writing I want to make a font of, but I don't know how to.

    So does anyone know how?*Wtf :wtf:

    I would suggest you to try these steps and check whether it helps in fixing your issue.

    Open font settings by clicking on start, click on control panel, and then click on appearance and personalization, under fonts click on change font settings. And select the font size.

    Step 2:

    If you’re trying to change windows font size then please follow the steps below:

    To change Windows fonts

    metrics
    .

    2. In the Item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list. Then, make any of the following changes:
