    My clock, searchbar and documents changed to strange symbols.


    Hi!

    I am having trouble with my computer. Today when I opened it, there were a bunch of random symbols instead of the usual letters. It's a bit hard to explain, so I'll attach a screenshot of the problem and let that speak for itself! My clock, searchbar and documents changed to strange symbols. 1c0df493-6c81-4858-8b2a-29e702d1fb25?upload=true.png

    The problem goes away when I am saving an item from Paint, for instance, and has the original names. But, when searching on the explorer, this appears.

    Thanks a ton in advance!

    :)

    Strange symbol between figures of clock on taskbar.

    Did you by any chance use Winaero Tweaker to change the default System Font? That will definitely produce exactly what you have.

    Using a custom system font, I replace the colon with a hyphen.
