Windows 10: Windows not using the correct localized versions of the system fonts

Hey guys,


I'm from Bulgaria and use Bulgarian as a Windows 10 (Pro) display language.


Bulgarian is installed as the first preferred language (with English (US) second), Bulgarian is also set as a language for non-Unicode programs, and as the regional format option.


I have two keyboards installed - the default US QWERTY and Bulgarian (Phonetic Traditional).


So, I think everything on my end is set up correctly.


Unfortunately, all Cyrillic text in my system is displayed using the Russian version of the Cyrillic script, and not the Bulgarian one. Everything I type and read on system menus is in Russian characters and a lot of them differ from the Bulgarian ones, especially when it comes to non-Capital letters. That makes reading difficult and confusing for me. Here is an image showing the differing characters between the Russian and Bulgarian version (in green) of the Cyrillic script:





I have lots of fonts that feature a Bulgarian localization (one fine free example is Fira Sans), but I no longer see a way to set custom system fonts in Windows 10. And then again, even if there was, I'm not sure the OS would even honor my system locale and actually use the localized glyphs for Bulgarian Cyrillic...


So my question is, how do I get Windows 10 to properly honor and display Bulgarian Cyrillic characters across the system. Thank you!

:)

 

Windows 10 system fonts disappeared

Hi Daniel,

This issue occurs due to corrupted system files. We suggest that you run
SFC and DISM. You may follow the steps provided by
ZigZag3143 (MS -MVP) on his article. It will check for any system
file corruptions on your system.

Also, you can restore your default font settings by following the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows + R and type control.exe, and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  Click on Appearance and Personalization; then, choose
  Fonts.
  
• 
  In the left pane, click on Font settings.
  
• 
  Hit Restore default font settings.
  

We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and provide us your feedback.
