Computer can't boot correctly after editing registry

Question

I can't boot my computer correctly after I edited AssocSystemFont in the registry to "simsun.ttc". Reinstalling the OS and booting the system in Safe Mode resulted in a BDOS. I also found that I can't find the FontAssoc folder in the registry.

Troubleshooting returned no results and my computer has no previous states to restore to.
