In my experience, this issue is usually related to incorrect font link setting. 
Simply put, the text in the screenshot is actually a Latin script (looks like 
Tahoma). In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows 
NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink, it links to an Asian font, in case 
requested characters are not contained in it. If some characters cannot be 
found in the first linked font, the second font is tested.

For example, some Simplified Chinese characters are not contained in Japanese 
fonts. If the first linked font is a Japanese font, and the second is a Chinese 
font, you may see 3 fonts in a sentence (the original Latin font, the Japanese 
font and the Chinese font). To fix this, simply move the Chinese font to the 
first linked font. This is recommended if you mainly read Chinese text.

If such font link setting does not exist, Windows will try the system internal 
default font, which usually gives bad looking.

Manipulating the font link did solve the problem. Thank you.
