Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Type services.msc and press Enter

Select the service named Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0 and click on the stop button in the toolbar. (If this service is not running, then there is no need to stop the service).

Press Windows key + R. Type %WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData and press Enter.

Click on the Continue button to gain permissions.

Double-click on the sub-folder named Local. Inside the Local folder, you would find several files which have their names starting with ~FontCache-. Select all these files and delete them. Do not delete any folders even if they are empty.

Reboot your computer. When Windows restarts, it will rebuild a new font cache. Now you should not see any misplaced or strange font’s issues.
