Bug: Quest text

Since the update on Monday I've been running into a very frustrating issue. Almost every quest I get, be it a rank quest or just a side quest, will just sorta freeze up on me. The NPC chat box appears and it will either be blank or when I get to a certain point in the text it will go blank. At that point I'm basically stuck not being able to get out of the chat, unless I force log.

I've tried to go back afterwards to see if maybe it will let me either finish the quest or just pick it up, but the same thing happens almost always at the same spot in the dialogue.

I tried to look back a few pages to see if this was a known issue, but couldn't really find anything. Am I the only one with this issue? Or is it a known issue, and if so is there a way to fix it?

Hi there, Caillum.
There are some people having issues like yours 'cause of customizing FFXIV fonts; some of them have fixed it changing to the default font, so maybe you could try this out (in case you had changed it) and look if that solves the issue for you.

Thanks for the tip Umo. It seems to have fixed my issue.

If it comes back I'll make sure to fill out that information Baccanale.
