Hi,
After the recent May 2020 Windows10 update my fonts have been changed troughout my computer... In folders, the font is bolded, on desktop it is SegoeUI but a taller sized one. It is very unpleasant, I've tried changing it few times using Microsoft advice but it is still different. How can I correct this problem?

I also have this issue with the centuryschl font, and it is costing money.
Each Microsoft update changes the normal to appear bold.
Reinstalling the font corrects the issue, but only until Microsoft forces their selves into everybody's computers again.
Every update, official documents I print out for a public utility get returned, and must be corrected before being accepted.
Restoring or fixing the problem, on an individual basis, after every invasive update IS NOT a solution.
Microsoft needs to fix this period.

No help at all.

All the fonts became blurry on my computer. If you are looking for the solution for this error. Just go to settings >go to personalization > click on fonts > find the option called ClearType text on the right-side corner of the screen > click on it > toggle the switch that says turn on ClearType > hit next until you find the option finish.
hope this helps.

Additional step: after clicked 'finish', click 'Yes/Allow' on the pop-out & restart you laptop afterwards...you will find the fonts back to normal again (just done this tips & succeed!)

I'd try asking for help in dedicated desktop personalization forums here.
