Windows 10: Arial font regular disappeared

I have been having some issues with text displaying as italic, and I narrowed down the problem to the Arial font which is also a default font for programs like R and Outlook. In trying to fix this, I went to Settings > Fonts > Arial, and discovered that the Regular face appears normal and links to the normal spot C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\ARIAL.TTF. I then went to Control Panel > Fonts > Font settings > Restore default font settings. This also did nothing.


Finally, I went to the actual file location c:\windows\fonts and I am missing the actual Arial font. I have Arial Black, Bold, Bold Italic, Italic, and all four faces of Arial Narrow. I am missing a plan old "Arial" font. This has cleared up the mystery of why all my Arial text is italic presumably the default has switched to Arial Italic, but I am left without a fix.


Is there an easy way to download just the Arial font file or even re-download all the Arial family fonts? I have failed to find a website that I trust to download a file from, and I cannot find some place on Microsoft's website for a secure download. I am also unsure of when this exactly occurred sometime in the last month or so, so I can't figure out what caused this to happen. I have found a file in Program Files > Microsoft Office > root > Document Themes 16 > Theme Fonts that is Arial.xml, but I can't just copy/paste that into the windows\fonts and the settings > fonts > install fonts function won't let me use this file either.


Please help, it's driving me nuts to have all my emails and ggplot2 graphs in italics.

Arial Narrow Regular font missing after updates

After system updates, Arial Narrow Regular font is now missing from my computer. Arial Narrow Italic, Arial Narrow Bold and Arial Narrow Bold Italic are all still installed and working properly.

The Arial Narrow Regular version is no longer showing up in my system fonts folder so I have no access to it in any applications.
