Bold font issue in some applications

Hello,

I have an issue I'm trying to fix for weeks without success. 

On some softwares (Outlook, Google Chrome, etc...) I have a strange bold font that appears and which seems to replace the initial font. For the case of Google Chrome, it only appears on some website.

I don't know how I can identify which font is missing or corrupted. Perhaps the issue is coming from elsewhere but I have no idea. 

If you already have this trouble or if you have any solution to provide it would be amazing.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

 

I understand that some applications on your PC have bold Fonts. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below:

 

1.    Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?

2.    Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?

 

Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?

 

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and see if that helps.

 

Method 1: Restore Default Font Settings

 

Try restoring Font settings to Defaults and see if that helps.

 

  1. Press Windows Logo key + R, to open Run dialog box.
  2. Type fonts and click on OK.
  3. On the left hand pane click on Font Settings
  4. Now click on Restore default font settings

 

Method 2: Adjust ClearType text

 

Try adjusting the ClearType text settings and see if that helps. Kindly follow the steps mentioned below.

 

  1. Press Windows key + R. This will open Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for Run.
  2. In Run dialog box, type cttune and hit Enter.
  3. Check the box next to Turn on ClearType and click on Next.
  4. In case you are using multiple displays you will be asked to click on Yes or No to tune all the displays or the one which you select.
  5. Once selected click on Next.
  6. Now select the sample that looks best to you and click on Next.
  7. You will be asked to select 5 samples that looks best to you every time you click on Next.
  8. Once you are done selecting the samples click on Finish.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Regards,

Hello, 

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I already tried your two methods without success. I tried it again this morning and nothing changed. 

I am running Windows 10 Version 1903. It is the 64-bits one.
