Cannot overwrite new fonts as the oldest ones

While developing mod for Persian Language, I found some inconsistency in game font behavior. I wanted to overwrite all font files and I found that new font files can not be overwritten as before.

Long story short: assume that we created mod, which only consist of: 

local OldRegisterPrefabs = GLOBAL.ModManager.RegisterPrefabs
local function NewRegisterPrefabs(self)
	OldRegisterPrefabs(self)
  
	local varNames = { "DEFAULTFONT","DIALOGFONT","TITLEFONT","UIFONT","BUTTONFONT",
	                   "NEWFONT", "NEWFONT_SMALL","NEWFONT_OUTLINE","NEWFONT_OUTLINE_SMALL",
	                   "NUMBERFONT","TALKINGFONT",
	                   "CHATFONT","HEADERFONT","CHATFONT_OUTLINE",
	                   "SMALLNUMBERFONT","BODYTEXTFONT","CODEFONT"
	                 }
	for _,f in pairs(varNames) do
		GLOBAL[f] = "emoji"
	end
end
GLOBAL.ModManager.RegisterPrefabs=NewRegisterPrefabs

We set all global non-fallback font variables to "emoji". "emoji" contains no ascii characters, so I expect that every boxes and dialog in the game will be empty (or filled with ???), but actually it is no true (see pictures). All boxes, which I found not empty, have one of the new fonts: "CHATFONT","HEADERFONT","CHATFONT_OUTLINE".

Steps to Reproduce
1. Create mod with the code in modmain.lua as above. 2. Expected: everything is empty 3. Some boxes are not.

The font for the filters was getting cached before the mods were loaded. I've removed the caching, and your expected results are showing up now. This will go out in the next update. Thanks for pointing it out!
