Windows 10: How to change Windows 10 system font to one from another one?

I wanted to change Windows 10 font to "Yu Gothic UI Light", which is default font for Japanese-language Windows 10 system.

Recently I have changed the language of Windows 10 to English from Japanese. Before the changing, I was satisfied with the default font for Japanese, but now, the default font has been changed to English-compatible one automatically. I'm not satisfied with the one. that's why I tried to change the font.

I refered this URL https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-default-system-font-windows-10to change system font.

What I did to change system font by refering the URL are followings.

Save following registry script as font_changing.reg file and execute it, then re-login. ( first of all I wanted to change font to Cica font which is also one of Japanese-compatible font. )
```

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]

"Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""

"Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"=""

"Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"=""

"Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"=""

"Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""

"Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""

"Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]



"Segoe UI"="Cica"

```

However It did not seems to success, the font viewing on text editor was same as previous one.
So next, I tried font changing by another named one, which is "Yu Gothic UI Light".
I did that save following registry script as font_changing.reg file and execute it, then re-login.

```

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]

"Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""

"Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]



"Segoe UI"="Yu Gothic UI Light"


```



After login, I checked font viewing on text editor, the viewing has been changed, but the one is pretty ugly. ( attached image )

I have no idea what should I do next. please help. Thanks.

Windows 10 changing Font

I cannot change the system fonts in Windows 10. I have gone in and changed the title bars, etc, but there are still some fonts that are too small for my eyes. One example is my Outlook address book. Anyone have any suggestions please?
