Windows 10: Fonts not showing up in control panel or applications

Following this post (I know it's old), doesn't work for me on Windows 10...
Installing fonts via command line/script - Page 2 - Windows 7 Help Forums

The fonts exist in the \windows\fonts folder
Registry entries are added thus...

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" /v "ghostdintrek.ttf (TrueType)" /t REG_SZ /d ghostdintrek.ttf /f

But I can't see them in control panel and word and photoshop don't see them either.

If I look from a command prompt, the files exist in Windows\fonts. But looking from explorer or control panel they don't show up. If I try to copy a ttf file to the folder from a command prompt it asks if I want to overwrite the file, so it must exist in the fonts folder.

What am I doing wrong?

Installed font not showing in Windows 10 Pro

Hi Greg -- I am not trying to change fonts, I am trying to add a font my team purchased. I have the file on my computer and I installed it. But it is not showing up in the font list on Windows 10 Pro control panel. When I search for it the fonts search
bar -- it does not show up. When I search in the Windows command line it does not show up. When I drag and drop the font file into the control panel font list, a pop up window says "this font is already installed, do you want to replace" and I clicked "yes"
and the font is still not there
