Mail fonts showing as musical symbols

Hi!

I received an email the other day that I can read completely fine on my phone, but in Apple Mail, all the text is rendering mostly as musical notes:

So far it seems to be the only email that's showing up like this. I recently upgraded to Ventura, though I'm not sure if that's related or not. Restarting didn't help, not sure where to go next!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2

Sounds like a junk font on your system. In Font Book, do Restore Standard Fonts.

Thanks! I went to Font Book -> Settings -> Advanced -> Rest Fonts (couldn't find Restore Standard Fonts), restarted the computer and back to normal :)
