Hello everyone,
I'm new here, and I just used the sfcfix tool, which I liked. It fixed a few other problems I had but didn't fix my fonts.
All text on my computer, Office, Adobe CC, etc. interestigly not Firefox and Chrome, looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/NYAS03w.png?1
This problem started a few days ago and this is what I've done so far.
I am currently sticking to Ubuntu with Windows 8.1 in seamless mode, It works fine but my battery life is abysmal and I can not do any RAM intensive tasks. I've also not used fonts from another computer because no one is running Windows 8.1 (let alone Enterprise). A zip of the default folder would be appreciated.
Any ideas? Steps I need to add to my troubleshooting routine?

This problem started a few days ago and this is what I've done so far.
- I run chkdsk /f - usually fixes my corruption problems.
- I run chkdsk /B - in my head it's like /f on performance drugs.
- I run sfc /scannow - told me it couldn't fix the problem
- I run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth - told me it couldn't find source files.
- I repeated 3 & 4 in safe mode with net user administrator account enabled + I took ownership of all the files in C:\Windows & nothing changed.
- I run a full Kaspersky 2014 Internet Security Scan and a malwarebytes full scan. They both didn't find anything.
- I cleaned my registry with CCleaner and did something that ended with a tick in TuneUp Utilites 2014. It's hard to navigate software without reading.
- I used my Ubuntu (dual boot) to copy fonts folder to an external disk and I reinstalled all the fonts on the Windows side, this worked, until I restarted the computer and the problem was still present.
- I run the SFCfix.exe from this site, which fixed the issues it found. I restarted and the issue was still present.
- Next step is refreshing Windows using installation media, I don't want to do this because I have work software with licenses I've lost that would be removed.
