Windows 10: Font Corrupted

I have a pdf drawing file and there is a font that is showing up as all squares. this happens in Adobe Acrobat, Blue Beam, Edge, Chrome. It is on three machines. The file is in my dropbox and when I go to view the file on dropbox it opens it up in chrome and the file displays properly. I assume Dropbox pulls the fonts differently when viewing it locally. I tried sfc /scannow and no luck.

If I select the text that are squares and I can paste it in a text file and it displays the correct text

I tried the bat file form TenForums on fixing the font cache and that did not work.

Any ideas?

:)

 

Corrupted Fonts

In addition you can try:

• Stop Windows Font Cache service in services.msc.

• Run C-Cleaner System / Font Cache option.

• Start Windows Font Cache service again.

If you have Ccleaner installed it's possible that you'd need CCEnhancer to see the font cache option.

If you don't have it - read this:
