This article describes an issue that occurs when the MS Mincho font is assigned for the TextBox control in Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, or Windows Server 2012 R2. You can resolve this issue by using the update in this article. Before you install this update, check out the Prerequisites section.

Symptoms

Assume that a Windows Store application has the MS Mincho font as the assigned font for the text box. It is expected that all the text in the text box should use the MS Mincho font except that the font does not have glyphs. However, another Japanese font is randomly used for the text. Therefore, the string is displayed as an unexpected layout in the text box.
