Arimo font has disappeared from Word in Office 2016 Home & Student

I created a Word document in December 2018 & selected the Truetype Arimo font from the available Word font options. I have just noticed that the font has disappeared from the font options. The font still displays in the document & can be edited as usual. I have selected Options-Save-Embed fonts, however when converting to Adobe PDF, Arimo does not show in the list of embedded fonts.

I have tried to manually install Arimo by dragging & dropping the font files into the font folder via the Control Panel, but nothing changes.

Have Microsoft pulled this font because it is a Google Chrome font? 

Thanks,

Microsoft 365 and Office | Word | For home | Windows

    Do not call the number in the message to which you replied; this was a bogus message posted by a scammer. The phone number does not belong to Microsoft and the post has been removed.

    Hi Luminatrix,

    I'm Craig, an Independent Advisor and I'll do my best to help you today. Let's try with the following suggestions, please:

    *Try restoring your fonts in Windows 10

    Type Fonts in Windows Start Search box > Click Fonts > Click Font Settings on left side > Click Restore default font settings > Restart your computer

    *If you don't get respite, you will need to build your font cache
