    Installed fonts are missing from font selection


    This is on a Windows 10 Pro version 1909 build 18363.1016 installed on 2020-02-16.
    Installed some Noto ttf fonts and they are stored in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts, but they don't show up for selection anywhere.

    In addition trying to update the signature in the forum, fails with the message "invalid file".

    Desktop: Intel Pentium Gold 5600/16Gb RAM - Windows 10 Pro 64bit version 1909 build 18363.1016

    :)

    Hello,

    I found these steps in this forum from back in 2010:

    Step 1:

    I would suggest you to try these steps and check whether it helps in fixing your issue.

    Open font settings by clicking on start, click on control panel, and then click on appearance and personalization, under fonts click on change font settings. And select the font size.

    Step 2:

    If you’re trying to change windows font size then please follow the steps below:

    To change Windows fonts

    1. Open Appearance Settings by clicking the Start button and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type window color, and then click Change window colors and
    metrics
    .

    2. In the Item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list. Then, make any of the following changes:

    · In the Font list, click the font that you want to use.

    · In the Size list, click the font size that you want.

    · In the Color list, click the font color that you want.

    3. Repeat these steps for each item that you want to make changes to, and then click OK.

    Does that help?

    For us to further isolate your concern, please provide us the following information:

    • Which fonts are missing?

    • Are you using those fonts for Office applications?

    • Is the missing font part of Windows or separately purchased for Office?
