See, for instance, this page for Palatino nova Light:. I think the Font Properties Extension is the sort of thing I was looking for.

I am looking for more information about the fonts installed with Windows I don't have a need to buy custom fonts, so far I installed it on Win 8. It is hard to tell. It is intended for True Type and Open Type fonts. In Explorer, the Win 8 Fonts folder displays a custom view that hides file extensions no matter what I do.

And I don't recognize the icons. But none of the fonts I looked at displayed the additional properties exposed by the tool. I have the same problem. I use the Aharoni font frequently - I like the boldness and style of the characters in English and use it somewhere in virtually all my spreadsheets. I followed the above instructions and installed the Hebrew supplemental fonts and got a message to say that this had been successful.

However, when I open up Word or Excel, I cannot see these fonts on my list of available ones to choose from - so how can I use them? Maybe someone from Microsoft can enlighten me as to why I still cant access these supplemental fonts despite installing them? It seems that this "upgrade" to optimize user experience, has actually worsened it rather than improve it - it certainly has in my case. If I can not access the font I need I now have to waste hundreds of hours going through all my spreadsheets in order to amend everything which is in Aharoni to something else which I don't really want!!

The majorityof my spreadsheets have over tabs in them and this "minor change" is actually going to be a "Major work" for me which I could well do without!!

There is an old saying in life - "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Perhaps that should have applied here too?? Same here except my issue currently is the entire Helvetica font family that is now gone, and I have a deadline to complete a project needing specifically that font type.

I can't think of any reason why the Helvetica family might not be working for you. If you run this command from a command prompt console window, do you see entries for your Helvetica fonts? Fonts that are installed with Microsoft Office , see I'm having a similar problem. I installed Windows 10 update version , and the pan-European supplemental fonts that I had installed were removed.

However what's worse is that Pan-European supplemental fonts are no longer an optional feature either, so it's not obvious to me how I can get them back. I certainly hope removal of these fonts was not an intentional part of the upgrade and that they'll be brought back in the next update; they're extremely important!

I wish I had had a warning. Any guidance on getting this font pack back or other information about its removal would be greatly appreciated!! Symptom Some users have found that certain fonts they use are missing after upgrading to Windows Cause Many fonts that shipped in prior versions of Windows have been moved into optional features in Windows Automatic installation of optional font features based on language associations As described above, most of the optional font features have particular language associations.

Installing optional language-associated features by adding a language to your settings If you want to use some of the fonts in an optional feature and you know that you will want to view Web pages, edit documents or use apps in the language associated with that feature, then you should add that language into your user profile. This is done in Settings; here are the steps, using Hebrew as an example: Click the Start button.

Click Settings. Scroll to find Hebrew, then click on it to add it to your language list. Installing optional features independent of language settings Any or all of the optional font features can be installed manually without needing to change language settings.

Here are the steps: Open the Fonts control panel: Method 1: Click the Start button and type "fonts"; a link to the Fonts control panel should appear in the Start menu. Then enter "fonts" and enter.

In the left pane of the Fonts control panel, click the link "Download fonts for all languages": You can also install individual font features. Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. How satisfied are you with this discussion? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.
