System texts italicized after installing "Segoe UI" font.

I was trying to install 'Segoe UI' font because I was trying to test a css file that is using 'Segoe UI' font. I was not able to find it in my system fonts as I only had 'Segoe UI variable' font installed.


I found the "Segoe UI" font on Dafont and installed it for all users now the weird thing was after I installed it, the text on file explorer iteslf turned into some unreadable gibberish. It wasn't readable at all. So what I did was try to uninstall the font. But it wouldn't let me because it says its:

Segoe UI Black Italic cannot be deleted because it is a protected system font


Now I tried to restart my laptop and now every system text is italicized as seen on the photos.

Can somebody help me out?

    If "Segoe UI" wasn't present in your system fonts, installing it might have caused some confusion or conflicts, especially if the font wasn't properly installed or registered.
