Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21376 Releases: Updated Segoe UI font

by ddos ·

Microsoft today pushed Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21376 to users in the development channel to fix some known issues and improve existing features.

In this version, Microsoft highlighted the redesigned Segoe UI Variable font, which is one of the most commonly used fonts in Windows systems.

In order to solve the problem of the font display, Microsoft redesigned it. The new version after the redesign is not only easy to read, but also good for displaying small text.

The font is currently being gradually promoted to Insider users, which means that not all users can immediately see new changes in fonts after upgrading to the new version.
