Steps to reproduce:

I have a french Windows 10, was on Thunderbird x32 until today and upgraded with the .msi installer to x64 v.102 - all went fine and extremly smooth.
Now when opening my mail boxes, I find some e-mails that include french accents that have a weird font and accentslook like Cyrillic.

Actual results:

Nothing between the two installs. I must mention that this happens also on some webpages of Firefox.

Expected results:

an accent like é or è should not display as cyrillic

It sems to happen on "Helvetica" fonts

OK after removing Helvetica font, it works. No accent problem anymore - maybe it's related to how Firefox & Thunderbird manage some fonts.
For some reason my colleague uses "Helvetica Neue LT STD 65" and I did not need to remove the font on her computer, accents work alright.
Hope this helps french users !
