Windows 8.1 causing blank text?

I recently installed Windows 8.1 about five days ago. At first I noticed nothing but some blank text on Steam and a forum. I didn't pay it much attention at first and shrugged it off as the websites having problems. After two days I found there was missing text all over my computer. Some Websites and my desktop programs are missing texts. For example when firefox crashes and the menu pops up saying it crashed and would I like to restart all the text is missing. Other examples are as follows (My apologies for the large images, I didn't know how to make them smaller):

The Starcraft II website is now void of small text. At first it was missing some letters and the text was almost unreadable but over the last few days trying to fix it the small text has completely disappeared (I have idea what I did to cause that.

I really don't think I need to explain what's missing here.

The texts in the red banner on the main page of Tech Support Guy is also missing. The black box shows where.


There are also other programs with missing texts I can't find my way back to that suffer the same problem. This all started right after updating to windows 8.1. I am unable to restore back to Windows 8 for my computer requires a recovery disk that didn't come with the computer. Can someone please help me with this?
