Sorry, I've no idea why the program is not picking up the font on
restart. If the font were damaged, I would expect it to fail earlier
on. You should open a support ticket at
https://support.live.com/default.asp...=wlmaildesktop
and see if you get any sensible answers there. Otherwise, someone
who knows more might drop in to help.
