Some fonts in Windows 10 changed after CC installation.

Installed CC the other day, and immediately noticed that some fonts in Windows changed to narrow. The small normal text in my browsers, the small normal text in some Windows dialogues, and in a variety of places throughout the system. They changed from a normal width font to a narrower one, and in some places to a smaller font.

Have tried a couple of things to no avail. Has anyone else had this happen, and know how to fix it?

Solved this issue myself.

It appears at least one of the default fonts in Windows may have been overwritten, replaced, or removed upon installation. Not sure if it was because of the installation or just happened simultaneously. Either way, it was gone after installing CC.

Inspected a portion of a webpage with a known font that had been changed. Determined that the specified font file was missing from my Windows Fonts folder, resulting in a default to the narrow version of this font.

Copied the missing font file from another computer of mine running the same version of Windows, and installed the font again on the affected system. It seems this resolved the issue.
