Windows 10: Missing Font

I'm looking for some help. I had to reset Windows 10 64 bit due to having to sort out an SQL problem with software I was using. I have just now found that a particular font (Lucida Handwriting) I use is no longer there, I'm not sure about other fonts that could be missing it's just this one that I noticed. It is available in Word but not other programs. I looked at the Fonts folder and also the registry Font folder in the Windows NT Folder and it's not there. I'm confused how I can use it in Word but it's not showing up in Fonts folders? My Language is set to English UK and this font is not part of another language pack.


Can anyone help? I'm loathe to use System Restore as I'm afraid I think I'd have to go back to before the SQL problem was resolved so would have to get the SQL specialist back to make it right it again.

Hi Charlotte,

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

Missing fonts after upgrade

I just had an automatic upgrade of windows 10 completed and some fonts are missing,

I have read up and tried the steps in the optional font features but the fonts are missing from the list.

The particular language group is the Pan European. The font I am after is Rockwell nova.

Is the any way I can access this as it is crucial to a job I am about to complete.
