Windows 10: Windows 10 Insider update 18267 - fonts issue

I saw five days ago that Microsoft knew about the OTF fonts issue.


My fonts (around 750) are totally messed up - if I go to the fonts folder I see approx 20 fonts that are shortcut files.


As a digital designer I need as many fonts as possible to work - could you get some sort of timescale on when a patch will be ready.

Build 18267 - Font Display issue is making the build unusable

The Known Issue surrounding Font Display on Build 18267 seems to be more widespread than highlighted.

Upon installation, within 5 minutes the display font begins to flicker, characters drop out, and the display goes haywire. This occurs on UWP/PWA Apps & the Fluent UI of the build (Inc Start, All Apps & Settings). It doesn't occur within File Explorer
or CMD/Powershell.

However, the extent of the issue makes the whole OS experience unusable & extremely unpleasant to use, never mind test.

It would be better if this test build was revoked and the matter fixed before releasing it to the test base!

 

Windows 10 Creators Update fonts issue

Still broken for the Creators Fall Update, it seems...

Symptoms we see in Word for custom installed fonts are:

• Fonts not displaying correctly in the Fonts list.
• Using a font causes the "Insufficient disk space or memory..." error.

Custom fonts do not appear in the system Fonts folder, and some standard fonts are greyed out. Attempts to reinstall custom fonts indicate they are already installed.

Wordpad: custom fonts are invisible in the fonts list. They can be selected by typing their name, but the font type does not display correctly.

Suggested workarounds have been tried with no success. We're really hoping Microsoft will prioritize this issue, as the media company I work at uses custom fonts heavily.

As mentioned in this thread already, fonts work fine with pre-1703 Windows 10 versions.

 

Bolded Font on Internet Browsers

Hi,

This issue may have been caused by a Windows 10 update that changed your font settings automatically. If you recently updated your operating system, we suggest that you follow these steps to see if the font will go back to normal:

• Type font in the search bar.
• Select Change Font settings.
• Click Restore default font settings.

Let us know the status of the issue to assist you further.
