Windows 10: Arial font emoji(s) became corrupted in 1809

Hello!


I was coding in PureBasic and all my projects use the Arial font and some emojis.


A few days ago I had Windows 10 1803 and the emoji ★ appeared okay in my project.


Yesterday there was the upgrade for 1809 and now the emoji appears as a square (corrupted).


I posted in the PureBasic forum complaining about it but a user told me Arial never supported the ★.


But, for many months that it has been working and only stopped after 1809.


Here is the PureBasic topic for someone to take a look:

https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=71949


In the end, a user there said it was a 1809 issue and I believe it is so.


Could a developer look into it?


Also, I could not find a proper "Windows topics" in which to fit this issue.

:)

 

Corrupted Arial Narrow font stops Notification and Edge display

2 problems I had:

1. Edge displays Times font for all web content. (Not talking about Reading View here)

2. Notification fails to open.

I saw in another forum a comment about corrupted Arial Narrow fonts stopping Notifications. It is associated with

Faulting application name: ShellExperienceHost.exe in Event Logs.

Going to Windows\Fonts and opening Arial font display and clicking on Arial Narrow shows no text. Deleting all Arial Narrow font variations fixes the problems.

I think Arial Narrow is installed with Office 2016. That is when the problems started.

Hope that helps anyone with same problem.
