    How to revert to previous font settings? Option to reset not displayed under "fonts"


    Font type and size changed all of a sudden for all apps except browsers. I did not make setting changes. Following online procedure to reset fonts does not work, because that option does not show up under control panel, fonts. That page only shows list of fonts and option to install more fonts. Using recommended display settings.

    :)
     

  2. RESETTING THE DEFAULT FONTS?

    Hello,

    I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you have performed. To assist you better, please provide us more information.

    • Did you delete any fonts from the system?
    • Which Windows 10 build are you using?
    • When you say ''Tried the one in the font menu but it didn't work!
      ‘’did you tried the option Restore default fonts settings? If not you can try the below steps.
    Let’s try to restore the default fonts settings and check if this helps.


    • Type fonts on the Windows search bar and select
      Fonts.

    • Click on Font settings on the left pane and click on
      Restore default fonts settings.

    • Click on OK.

  3. Display Font

    So, I have a very cool set up/theme on my computer, or at least I think its very cool! Ya know, as girly as possible yet not over done with pink glitter or any crap like that, just feminine I guess (lol).
    So I'm looking to change the DISPLAY font to go along with this theme I have created. Not a new font layout, not the size of the font, but THE WHOLE FONT DISPLAY.

    For an example, where it says "Search the web and Windows" it would show in the font of my choice.

    When I click on the Windows Start and all my apps are listed, they would be listed in my font.

    Or when I go to log in, under my name it would show MY FONT. MY FONT would be shown EVERYWHERE there is any text!

    How, please??! I have made it to the screen where it list's all the available fonts, ones that I have installed and what not. (Settings --> Personalization --> Fonts) However, once I open the font I would
    like to apply there are no options to do so... Its frustrating, the one thing to make my theme be complete!! I appreciate bringing the option back of choosing a custom color for display options, but there has to be a reason these fonts have been installed
    and are listed in the personalization menu. Not to mention you can purchase more fonts from the store... Please help!
