    Cannot install fonts, build 17713


    On one of the newest windows builds, build 17713, I cannot install any fonts anymore.

    I was going to install Roboto when I got an error.

    The error is: "The file.... does not appear to be a valid font."

    The files all are in .ttf format.

    I am logged in as an admin.

    I already tried downloading the fonts from many different sources.

    Nothing seems to be working.

    Online, I read that this has also possibly something to do with the Windows firewall.

    The strange thing is, I was able to download and install multiple other fonts about a month ago without any problems.

    I can't really enable my Windows firewall as many people suggest, because my firewall is managed by my anti-virus, Norton.

    But I already tried installing the same font from the same sources on a similar PC. That worked out fine.

    The only difference is that it uses an older final build of Windows. It also runs Norton.


    I have this problem with all fonts I try to install.

    I also didn't see this under "known issues" of the insider blog.


    Thanks in advance for helping me out.



    btw: I already tried a whole lot of ways to make it work like: dragging into the folder, disabling Norton firewall, copying the files from another system,...

    :)

    Error message "This Font Is Already Installed. Do You Want To Replace It"

    Hi!

    I'm using Windows 10 Home 64-BIT, Version 1703, OS BUILD 15063.674

    Checking

    • Which build and version of Windows are you running on your computer?
      • Windows 10 Home 64-BIT, Version 1703, OS BUILD 15063.674
    • Please check if the fonts are listed in Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Fonts.
      • Only NB International Mono Regular appears in the fonts folder.
    • Please check again if the fonts are listed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts.
      • The following NB fonts are present:
    NB-International-Pro-Light

    NB-International-Pro-Mono

    NB-International-Pro-Regular

    NB-International-Pro-Italic

    • Have you tried replacing it? If yes, what was the result?
      • Yes! I have tried replacing and each time (whether the font is present in the registry or not) I receive the same error message "This Font Is Already Installed. Do You Want To Replace It"
    Any suggestions?

    Many thanks!

    Cannot install fonts, build 17713

    Fonts installed but not displaying

    Hello Kirsty,

    Problem using the newly installed fonts has a lot of causes. One example is the font was not installed properly. To isolate the issue, can you answer the below questions:

    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • If yes, can you include a
      screenshot
      ?
    • Have you tried dragging the Futura LT font to the Font File folder? (Go to Fonts (Control Panel) and drop the Futura LT font)
    • Have you installed the Font before? If yes, try the below steps
    • Go to C:\Windows\Fonts using File Explorer.
    • Find the font file and open it to preview the font.
    • In the preview window click Install on the top right corner and you’ll reinstall the font manually.

    We are eager on getting this resolved for you, we will wait for your feedback.
