Display problems with allowing web pages to use their own fonts, both on and off.
I refer to the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" option in the Content > Advanced tab of the Options menu.
When I have this option unchecked, allowing my font choice to override the default non-image generated text for web pages, it seems that many icons and buttons on numerous sites are replaced by some sort of hex code malfunction. They appear as small boxes with four characters inside. I'm sure someone knows the official term for what these are and why they occur.
When I have the option checked, however, any non-image generated text on numerous websites appears as an ugly Stencil font that I simply cannot find the origin of. It should not be and clearly isn't the default font for all of these different sites. By "non-image generated text", I mean any text that is not incorporated into the design of the page.
This issue has persisted through several full re-installs. Any insight into a solution for one or both sides of this problem would be quite appreciated. Thanks for reading.

You would have to remove (uninstall) or reinstall the Georgia font if it is currently corrupted.
You can use the System File Checker to check for missing and corrupted font files. It needs to be run from an Elevated Command Prompt. Open a cmd.exe window as Administrator: Start, click Programs, click Accessories Right-click Command Prompt, and choose "Run as administrator" Click past the UAC Screen After the cmd.exe prompt, type: sfc.exe /scannow and press Enter

Yes, that are icon fonts that are used to display icons via a downloaded font file (@font-face). If you disable "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" then you do not see the icons, but you see a little box with the hex code instead or another character if there is a font installed that covers this range.
You can check for problems with the font that is used to display the text.
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
After some exploration, I think that perhaps my Georgia font is corrupted. How would I go about fixing this?

I'm sorry to reply so late, it's been kind of busy.
Anyway, I ran that scan and it returned no results. I don't know with absolute certainty that my Georgia font is corrupted, and this scan seems to indicate that it's not the case. I still don't exactly know.
Is there something else I can try?
Edit: I played around a bit more and actually found the exact typeface (Georgia Thin) that was messed up. So I reinstalled that font and it fixed the problem! I can't believe it was this simple.
