Windows 10: Arial Narrow on Windows 10

Hi, I am continually getting a message that Arial Narrow is not loaded on to my computer when I am printing a document that I use all the time. Is there a download for Windows 10 to prevent this from popping up anymore? I do not have any Microsoft Office programs on this computer as we only use it for Quickbooks and a few other things for our business. When I had Windows 7 I never had an issue with this.


Thanks

:)

 

Arial Narrow Bold font renders in Bold Italic

When my Arial Narrow font is set to Bold, it renders in Bold Italic. I tried: rebooting the OS and reinstalling the Arial Narrow family from a backup, but the issue still persists.

I noticed a workaround in deleting the Arial Narrow Bold Italic variant, but I don't want to do that for the font to render properly. Otherwise, if I choose
Arial Narrow Bold, rather than set Arial Narrow to Bold, it displays fine.

I observed (via Office font selection) that each Arial variant is OpenType, except for a TTF version of Arial Narrow I somehow got long ago. However, in my Windows fonts folder, I supposedly have the
full Arial Narrow font family (which reports as TTF).

Can anyone educate me as to why this issue persists and provide clarity on how this rendering works? Thanks in advance!

Corrupted Arial Narrow font stops Notification and Edge display

2 problems I had:

1. Edge displays Times font for all web content. (Not talking about Reading View here)

2. Notification fails to open.

I saw in another forum a comment about corrupted Arial Narrow fonts stopping Notifications. It is associated with

Faulting application name: ShellExperienceHost.exe in Event Logs.

Going to Windows\Fonts and opening Arial font display and clicking on Arial Narrow shows no text. Deleting all Arial Narrow font variations fixes the problems.

I think Arial Narrow is installed with Office 2016. That is when the problems started.

Hope that helps anyone with same problem.

 

Arial Narrow Bold font renders in Bold Italic

Thank you all to the helpful responses. I believe that I've fixed the problem on my own.

First, I deleted the entire Arial font family (except the protected ones).

Next, I reinstalled Office 2013.

As expected, Office installed a fresh Arial font family. Turns out that I had two variants of Arial Narrow on backup from years ago. In other words, these two font files were outdated and redundant. (When I installed Office 2013 the first time, I must've
copied my entire fonts library over.)

But it has all been set right. Now when I set a font to Arial Narrow and click
B, it doesn't italicize. My Arial font family is bug-free now. I deleted Arial from my personal font collection as I know I'll only need it from the genuine software source (Windows, Office. etc.)

Thanks again!
