Use Firefox, navigate to Options, then select the Content tab. In that section, tap Advanced and enable the option "Allow pages to use their font..." Check everything and restart the browser. If issues persist, access the Fonts folder (search for "Font") and verify Segoe UI is present. If absent, consider restoring your system via Windows System Restore, upgrading to a compatible Windows version, or reinstalling Windows. To reset Firefox, go to Help > Troubleshooting Information, click "Reset Firefox," which will delete add-ons and personal settings while keeping bookmarks intact. For backup, use the Bookmark menu and select "Show all bookmarks" to export them.

System Fonts don't magically disappear. I would check for malware.

I haven't detected any malware on this system. My recent tasks included malware scanning, defragmentation, clearing temporary files, and uninstalling multiple applications via IOBit Uninstaller. A thorough scan may have removed a few fonts.

Use the standard uninstaller tool. Avoid cleaning the registry; you only cause issues when you do. Eventually, you might wish to complain about how a Windows update forced a reinstall or prevented installation, or if upgrading to Windows 10 failed at any point. Just don’t. For files left behind, you can remove them yourself if they bother you. There are no hidden spots—everything is in the usual places: C:\Users\<NAME>\AppData\Roaming\<PROGRAM> C:\Users\<NAME>\AppData\AppData\<PROGRAM> C:\Users\<NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Temp C:\ProgramData\<PROGRAM>

It seems you're pointing out that the reason you don't worry about cleaning the registry is because it's a database. Databases are designed to handle large amounts of data efficiently, maintaining consistent performance regardless of size. This applies to forums too—everyone uses a database to store posts. As more posts accumulate, the system becomes slower at retrieving information, similar to how this forum operates.
