Word 16.93 and Fonts

[Kashchei]

I have several music fonts that I use in Word to indicate pitch (i.e. Ab only fancier). These include CSTimes, MusAnalysis & MusGlyphs and they are all truetype fonts. My computer running Sequoia 15.3 recently updated to Word 16.93 and suddenly these music fonts don't show up in Word although they do appear in Pages. This has happened on all my machines running the same OS and version of Word. Has anyone else had a similar issue and if so, how did you fix it?

Thank you in advance for whatever help you can provide.

Have you installed the fonts using Font Book? I have just installed a couple of test fonts using Font Book, and they showed up in Word 16.93 immediately.

Dave, I did install the font via Font Book. It is working fine in Pages. I have attached the font here. Let me know if it loads in your version of Word 16.93.

Have you tried to change the Default install location to All Users?

I was going to suggest that, but I tried installing to both All Users and Current User and the fonts worked fine in Word in both locations.

Dear Dave,

I'm glad that the CSTimes worked in your copy of Word. I had posted to the Microsoft support page and a MS support staff got back to me. They said this is a known problem with Word 16.93 and they sent me a link to download the previous version of Word to avoid the problem until they could fix it. So problem solved!
Thank you so much for your help!

No, sorry, CSTimes didn't work in Word for me. It was a couple of other fonts. When I tried your copy of CSTimes, it behaved as you said.
It worked in LibreOffice and Pages, but not Word or WPS Office.
Your font, as is, is an old Mac Suitcase font. It will work with Apple based software but not Windows based software like Word and WPS Office.
It needs to be converted to a proper TrueType font, with .ttf at the end, not .suit

This article discusses the problem and gives a link to a solution.

I used it to create the zipped file attached and tried it in Word, and it works properly.
Use the linked solution to fix your other fonts.

Dear Dave,

Thank you so much for fixing my problem before Microsoft got around to it!!! CSTimes was indeed an old font, so thank you so much for reanimating it as a true type. It now loads just fine on my machines. It is people like you that make me love MacRumors so much--thank you again so much for all your help and patience.
