Websites' fonts are bugging after some Windows update

I usually browse website in Chinese(Trad.), English and Japanese. At 9th April, I rebooted the PC once to install some postponed Windows Update. I noticed that the Japanese font on Edge is extremely weird when I browsing YouTube. I found that it is caused by a Windows update at 9th April and found out many Japanese people having the same problem that Japanese font are changed to a really weird font.

So I tried to follow their method to fix it but my Chinese(Trad.) then became weird since the Japanese font would resize part of the Chinese font, making the Chinese texts not equal in size.

I spent a lot of time trying to fix it in the font setting of the Edge and somehow it seems to be fixed at some point I am not sure what I did or Edge just fix it by itself. For a while, it was fine for me because the fonts in all 3 languages seem normal now.
 
However, I found another problem lately some of the text size is extremely weird. On some websites, they are bigger than before so I tried to turn the minimum text size to 0 according to the Chrome setting which I think it could be the default setting of Edge as well. Afterward, those texts become small and uncomfortable to read.

Here's a picture that I cropped from X (Twitter)


The "https://" and a part of the URL will just shrink if I adjust the minimum text size to 0, I have to adjust it back to something like 14 or 16, but now it is causing the other text to become too big on X (Twitter) and other websites, this may even cause issues with CSS settings of some websites.

I tried to restore Edge to the default setting but no help at all. It is so frustrating to use Edge while I checked find the text size and font settings are normal when using Chrome, and I don't see anyone else having this problem, so I really don't know how to fix it. Therefore I am trying to put a dicussion here to see if anyone else having similar problem.
