    Windows changed default font to 8514oem


    So this happened a while ago after an update but I've only just got around to trying to fix it. One day after an update, I noticed the text on my computer had all been changed to this old, ugly font 8514oem in place of the standard Windows font, which I think was segoe UII've downloaded Segoe UI again in case the files were deleted in the update but it hasn't made a difference. On all of my programs, despite changing font settings on e.g. firefox, everything is still shown to me in 8514oem.I also can't delete the font from my computer. I've tried resetting font settings to default, I've down

    Windows add font 8514oem when I change windows DPI to 125%. Why?

    So I did restore the default Windows Font

    And windows really "hide" 8514oem font.

    But It still don't answer why it is visible only when I have DPI 125% and it isn't when I have DPI 100% Windows changed default font to 8514oem :)

    btw I have fresh windows 10 installation in virtual machine

    Windows add font 8514oem when I change windows DPI to 125%. Why?

    I found this wired font that windows add when I switch windows DPI to 125%

    font name is 8514oem

    And It show up when I change windows DPI to 125%.

    Why windows add this font? Is it bug?

    You need to sign out and in again after you change DPI
