User missing font in Word for MacOS
- Aug 17, 2020
Layne123 If you take a look at the other thread I linked above, you'll see that I posted my install history on my Mac for the last 15 days or so. It would be interesting to see what yours looks like and so we can compare and contrast them. In case you don't know where to find it: go to About this Mac, click on System Report, then scroll down to Software/Installations on the left column, and then sort the installs by date. I used Screen Shot to take a picture of the relevant bit.
Best,

My troubleshooting so far:
Does work in Excel. "Regular" shows up with check mark.
Does not work in Word and Outlook - only bold and italic work and there are no checks next to the font styles. (see attached image for what it looks like when working)
There are no check-boxes next to the font styles in Garamond yet the check-boxes do show in other font families.
Verified there were no enabled duplicate fonts in FontBook. Repaired the fonts anyway.
The issue seems to have started with the last Office update.
Booted in Safe Mode and it didn't help.
Reinstalled the latest version of Word.
Deleted Word and Office user pref plists from user/library/preferences
The attached image is what the font family should look like from my computer running the same version of Word and the same MacOS.
