Clock Looks Weird

    The clock in the bottom right hand of the taskbar looks weird ever since I changed the system's default font. I wanted to try out a custom font that's apparently made for people with dyslexia, so I downloaded the custom font file, and then I followed the guide's instructions on how to make it work, which was to create a notepad registry file with this pasted into it:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
    "Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
    "Segoe UI"="OpenDyslexic"

    I right clicked it, selected "merge" and approved it. Not only did the font change, but the clock that shows on the taskbar now shows a weird box instead of the colon that's normally used. Here is a picture of what I mean:

    I changed the font back to Calibri using the same method, but the box is still there. It's making it hard to look at the clock and know what it says. I can figure it out if I stare at it for a bit, but I really don't like it. Is there anything I can do to fix it? I'm using Windows 10

    You just need to revert the change to Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType).

    Just create a fix.reg file with the content of the following code box and merge it with the registry. Then sign out/in.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
    "Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"="seguisym.ttf"

    Thank you, that seemed to have worked!
