Hi @Tory Enerson

To help narrow this down, could you let us know which version of Word for Mac and macOS you're using? Is the issue limited to the font "ABC Print Lined", or are other fonts also missing from Word?

In the meantime, please try the following:

1/Completely quit and reopen Word

Close all Word windows.

Right-click the Word icon in the Dock and select Quit, then reopen Word and check if the font appears.

2/Restart your Mac and launch Word again.

3/In Font Book, select the font and choose File > Validate Fonts to check for any font errors.

4/Remove and reinstall the font

Open Font Book.
Locate ABC Print Lined and remove it completely.
Restart your Mac.
Download a fresh copy of the font from the original source and reinstall it.
Reopen Word and check whether the font appears in the font list.

5/Check if the font appears in another app

Try TextEdit, or another Office app. If it appears there but not in Word, the issue is likely Word-specific.

If the issue persists, please provide your Word for Mac version and your macOS version. Please let me know whether the font is missing only in Word or also in other applications such as TextEdit or Pages

This information will help determine whether the issue is related to Word, macOS, or the font itself.

I have tried ALL the above steps. The type face does show up in pages and Textedit.

I have Tahoe 26.5.2on my mac book air ,and Word 365, version 16.111. This typeface comes with A LOT of variations and perhaps it overwhelms word? I really only need to use one or two of the typeface variations in the package.

thoughts?

Another thing worth trying is reinstalling the font from a different source, if one is available. In some cases, different versions of the same font family contain updated metadata or formatting that can affect how Office applications recognize and display the font. Since the font works in Pages and TextEdit but not in Word, testing an alternative copy of the font may help determine whether the issue is related to the specific font files currently installed.

If you do try this, I would recommend completely removing the existing ABC Print Lined fonts first, restarting your Mac, and then installing the new copy before testing again in Word.

Since you're running Word for Mac Version 16.111, another useful test would be to update to Version 16.111.1

Alternatively, if you did not experience this issue in a previous Word version, you could try temporarily reverting to an earlier build. Uninstall current versionand download pervious version such as 16.109.
