I was wondering... you said you did all the manual stuff, so I was half-expecting/accepting you also edited your Oblivion.ini, but... I also need to keep in mind how many people told me this already while they completely missed editing the "correct" INI file. They say Oblivion.ini but got "oblivion_default.ini" instead, not inside their "MyGames/Oblivion/" folder but inside the actual Oblivion game folder, which is the wrong one and won't have an (immediate) effect.
You doing it manually the fonts weren't correctly changed, but once you did it with a manager (BAIN = Wrye Bash) it worked? That does sound like you could have actually gotten the wrong file for your manual editing before, or your manual editing was somehow done wrong.
Now I wonder which it was. If you don't mind elaborating that is.
Hey I know this is late, but i was having the EXACT same issue as OP. You were right, I found the actual oblivion.ini and changed the font there. That fixed it for me. Thank you so much I was about to give up on my childhood game!
