3 you can close all that and open up your registry editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft

4 higlight microsoft and right click on it you will get a small pop up menu at the very top of this menu you have create a new key click on that

5 you will get a new pop up window , in the sub key type in FontPath and hit save

6 now go to this new registry key you just made and click on it on the right hand side you have a sub menu highlight it and right obove it there is a litle square with ab in it click on that , and you will get a menu pop up that says new value string

7 go down to value name and type in FontPath, under that it says value data type in the adress of the font which should be \Storage\windows\Fonts hit save and close the registry editor

8 now just turn your phone off and back on
