Windows 10: Deleting Fonts from Windows 10 that don't appear in regedit

I have a "Bliss" font that I use on other systems and is licensed for use on my Surface Pro with Windows 10 - Version 1809

It is currently in my fonts list, but unfortunately the Bliss-Regular.otf file I installed appears to be conflicting with a BLISS-Regular_01.otf version of the same name font, and it's not presenting properly.


I've tried the simple steps to uninstalling/deleting the problem file, but I can only delete the new file, and the old file remains due to the 'in use' issue.


I've attempted the steps to deleting the file from the registry; however, the Bliss font doesn't even exist in the registry.

It doesn't appear in either of these areas:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts


This sure has been a time-killer. I hope I can receive some help here. Thank you.

Fonts don't appear correctly, or at all, in some apps.

Recently, I don't know when exactly, the font in Firefox's address bar didn't appear correctly.





I then noticed that the font in iTunes was incorrect.





Lastly, and most importantly, Steam doesn't display any font at all. Except for text in the browser window, that is.





I could use some help guys. Thanks in advance.
