I've been seeing this asked frequently so here's a quick guide.
If you installed Astral and noticed your text is messed up, you can fix it by disabling TFF within Astral settings.
In-game method, right click the windows bar of your game and follow these menus:
Out of game method, make sure your client isn't running for this. Go to your install directory, open astral.ini and change "Use Bitmap Fonts" from 1 to 0 like you see in this screenshot. Save and exit. Launch the game and it should be fixed.
Not everyone's experience may be the same and this may not resolve your issues. But it seems to work for everyone I've spoken to so far.
