iijjrr: Recently installed Return to Krondor. It failed to load, and proceeded to change most of the fonts on my Windows 10 PC (explorer, firefox, etc.)
Uninstalled the game and tried reinstalling NVIDIA drivers, clearing the font cache, importing the font registries from a new user account (which DID have default fonts), system restore, nothing has worked. Not willing to open another user account just to have my fonts back, but would appreciate if anyone has a solution.
Just for the record, the game is not officially supported on anything newer than Windows 7, as you can see on the gamecard.

With that out of the way, the only thing that may affect fonts is indeed ClearType settings. Game is supposed to disable CT on launch and re-enable on quit.
As Darvond wrote above, please check if your ClearType settings are back to normal. Easiest way to do so is:
- press WinKey + R, with will open Run window
- type CTTUNE and press Enter
- follow instructions on-screen to tweak your fonts visibility
