Try it with a basic font to test if it's a font-specific issue.
If it isn't a font-specific issue, then it's quite likely an AE Preference issue.

However, you should first go to the Character Panel and select its Hamburger Menu and select the Reset Character option.

If this doesn't work, re-start AE and Trash its Preferences.
