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.
