PoE Client Font Changed

For some reason the font on my PoE got changed (no clue how, I did absolutely nothing). Just loaded up my game today and it was different, it was normal last night.

Here is what it looks like:

Perhaps it's an issue with language selection? Certain translations and languages may use specific fonts. You can try changing your client's language or reinstalling the client with a new language selection.

If you've only ever used English, I'd perform a pack check on your client. Guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/18531.

There have been some others with the same issue, but none of them reported back what worked or didn't work.

I tried changing languages, reloading client, re-installing client, and running Pack Check, all with no help.

Okay so the problem was fixed by enabling Windows Firewall. Apparently in Windows 10, turning off your firewall results in being unable to edit any fonts on Windows, preventing PoE from loading its original font. For anybody reading this with the same issue, if you want to go back to your normal PoE font, but still keep your firewall off, turn on firewall and install the font called "Fontin" which is what PoE uses, and then turn it back off.
