Quick overview:
In some unexplained cases, the service pack destroyed the Latin language file of Internet Explorer, so that ä,ö,ü and other special characters cannot be displayed.
The service pack changes some registry settings, which we return to you:
Internet Explorer - Restore font
1. Click here to view the Windows Tweaks SP1 Patch to download.
2. As soon as the file has been downloaded, double-click on it and confirm twice with OK.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.
Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
