text showing as squares

About this tag
The tag 'text showing as squares' covers a common Windows display issue where certain characters or UI elements appear as empty squares instead of the intended glyphs. This typically occurs after changing system fonts, as seen in a reported case where switching to Comic Sans MS and back to Segoe UI caused squares in Groove Music controls, checkboxes, and time displays. The problem is often related to missing or corrupted font files, incorrect font settings, or system font cache issues. Users have attempted fixes like resetting fonts via Control Panel, but the issue may persist, requiring deeper troubleshooting such as rebuilding the font cache or restoring default system fonts. This tag is relevant for Windows 10 users experiencing similar visual glitches.
