Iam not sure what you mean by an "update." I know that Microsoft removed some of the previously included typefaces from Windows 10. If you are using a Windows computer, and have recently updated to a newer version of Windows, it might be that included fonts no longer include the version of Arial that you had been using. The Arial that is currently installed may no longer have a "bold" option, but instead have a number of different weights, like Medium, Strong, Black, etc.. I don't do much in Illustrator with typefaces, but I know in InDesign, if I have text that is formatted using the bold button, and I change to a typeface that requires me to choose a specific weight, I will get error messages and funny looking type, like what you are seeing.
I have the same problem today in my Illustrator and PS and was searching for some answers, but none of those helps. So, by any chance that you still haven't found the answers all I did is I delete the font Antenna Bold. It's similar to the Arial Bold and I think it conflicts with it that why it will appear as condensed. Anyway hope this helps.
If the Illustrator is the only issue left then you can try uninstalling it and reinstalling that one application. You may have to clear out the setting that are saved under %AppData%\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator.
If I move mouse over Arial Bold that name is not highlighted, instead of that a font name Antenna Bold is highlighted and the letters are displayed condensed even if my mouse pointer stays over Arial Bold.
Opened Photoshop and typed some letters. Now go to the Font list and stay over Arial Bold in the list. It should be selected Arial Bold but for some reason it highlights another one (in my case it is called Antenna bold).
Today I opened up my browser (Opera 11.60) and noticed that all of the font was italicized. There are still some text that isn't italicized, but most of the text is italicized. I then opened up Firefox 9.0.1, and all of the font was bold. I looked at the Fonts in the Control Panel, and I have Arial Black, Arial Bold, Arial Bold Italic, Arial Italic.
gave an error. Turns out the filename of the fonts is not what is showed by windows in the Fonts folder, and you have to actually open the properties of the file to see the true filename. Using the true filename for arial bold worked
I have tried installing a few Arial fonts such as Arial Narrow bold on a Windows 7 machine, and can't get the font to be usable after I install it. The Arial font family, including Arial Narrow Bold, shows up in the Windows font folder, but I can't use all of the Arial fonts in Photoshop, Word, etc.
I have uninstalled and installed a few times now, with differing results each time. Sometimes certain Arial fonts are usable while others are not, and then after I re-install some other Arial fonts become usable while some that were once usable are now not.
I do not have a solution for word, but the incomplete font list problem with respect to Adobe I have encountered many times. The usual solution for this is to create a shortcut to the windows fonts folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts (omit the (x86) if you are on windows 7 32-bit)
The adobe docs say to make duplicates of the fonts or shortcuts of the fonts in this folder, but making a shortcut to the entire font folder works, and it has the benefit of not having to update this folder every time you install a typeface.
Note also, that in an Adobe program, whenever it feels it can, it will group families, so you might have to select arial, and then in a secondary drop-down, you select regular, light, bold, medium book etc.
Regenerate in TTF by defalt all 4 Arial Narrow fonts with Fontlab Studio without any changes to fonts info or structure. Then install them into system (Windows/Fonts). Clean old Arial Narrow files before. Then do search for adobefnt*.lst on system disk. Delete those files (only .lst not .db or any other).
Hi, here i im attaching Arial Bold Font that i need to add to Fusion 360 Electronics, so that i can select it in Schematic Editor, i open Arial Bold Font, click Install, restart PC, run Fusion 360 Electronics and in Schematic Editor there is no font called Arial Bold, so if i can get help from Autodesk support how can i fix this?
Also one important feature that needs to be added is when user select font in Schematic or PCB Editor is missing BOLD, ITALIC and UNDERLINE buttons, so for example i have Arial and if we have button B then fond will be bold.
Thanks, and keep up very good work of importing EAGLE into FUSION 360, so that it will be one product. It has major bugs and is slow, but in next year or so it will be improved speed and bugs fixed, also another question is when ngspice simulator in FUSION 360 Electronic will have more options? For example Oscilloscope, like clicking on wires and see live changing waveforms on screen, or THD Harmonic Distrosion that is essential for amplifier design?
I hope you're doing well. To use a font other than the 3 that come with Fusion electronics, select the font to be CUSTOM then you'll be able to choose any font you have installed on your computer. The bold type is actually it's own type of font. Even though it would be nice to easily access the Bold or Italic subfonts using specific buttons, you can still get it through the combo box.
One big missing GUI function under settings is dark mode GUI, now is white background toolbar and sidebar and this is hurting eyes when you work about 1 hour on hobby project...so dark mode will be eyes saving.
This is an overall Fusion 360 feature request. There's been talk about it since it has been requested but I don't think there are any immediate plans to implement. I'll pass this thread to one of my colleagues in case they have more info.
Hi, just saw that my whole report (one main and eleven subreports) are not bold in any of my text-fields. I am required to use Arial if possible, but since Arial seems not to get used when exporting to pdf and font weight seems to get discarded if that happens, I switched to Sans Serif.
Is there any way to use Arial font with bold font weight when exporting to pdf without workarounds? Just a clean solution? If not I'd be very thankful for any explanation on why it is that way as I need to justify my descisions and it'd help me a lot ^_^
The Find Font is what i use now. I wanted to find a way to do it with ExtendScript quicker. I have found that my arial font I use is textFont[12] and the arial bold I use is textfont[14] on my system. If there was a way to find the font used in the file and select thetext using that font it seems it would be possible to change it to one of these fonts. I dont know enough about it to know if it is possible or not.
I have an address on a smartform in which the first 2 lines are bold and the rest is normal text. I would like all of this (bold and non-bold) to use the Arial font. The non-bold text is fine and comes out as Arial but the bold text is converted to Courier New as soon as I save.
It's also possible(but unlikely) that you don't actually have the arial bold font file on your computer. To check, open a command prompt, move to c:\windows\fonts and type dir arial*.*. My computer show this
The 4 first files correspond to Arial regular, bold, bold italics and italics. If you only have the arial.ttf, then the others aren't installed. Note. You have to do this in a command window, because Windows applies a special format to the fonts directory in File Explorer and you can never show all font file names
You can still get a bold effect in programs like Word, without the specific files, the because the Windows font rendering system can use the regular font and simulate bold and italics. Though I'm not privy to the inner workings of the Alteryx rendering engine, I think it's probably trying to specify the font files to be included in the output document and can't find the arialdb.ttf file.
I will check if I have Arial bold installed. I was under the impression that if I could use it in my word document, I would have it installed on my pc. I will check that route on Monday, and I will definitely let you know.

Thank you for the hint. But the same effect. See attachment.
But because its running on your system (you also have a windows system?), it seems not to be a Affinty bug.
Some is wrong on my system. Usings Microsoft Publisher or Photoline on my compute, its running well with pdf export of arial bold.
But why not with Affinity?
@MWehrstein Un-install the Type 1 versions as that is confusing the Affinity font cache (the fonts have the same PostScript Names as in the TTF files).
Restart Affinity Photo after you have deleted the Type 1 fonts and it should rebuild its font cache - and it should work.
Just the regular Arial TTF and Type1 have a conflict because the PostScript Name is the same inside the fonts. And the PostScript name is used when embedding the fonts in the PDF. So the duplicate names confused the Affinity app.
We have a Windchill product in which we use client's configs including fonts, in their case Arial.
Suddenly some drawings started using different font which caused text overspilling its respective table cells.
Anyway, during investigation we learned that for some reason we were missing Arial in the default Creo folder on worker machine (../common/text/fonts) and in the
config.pro there was no other folder specified (pro_config_dir commented out).
We copied over the Arial font to the folder, and drawings started using the font all right, BUT it's displayed in a very strange way.
Attaching an image to illustrate it (picture 1) - the "futher" you are the more the font looks as if it's bold.
And it even prtins out this way on a paper.
But when I zoomed in typed fragment of text in Word and overlayed one with another (picture 2), it looks all right.
Arial bold should be proportionally different from plain Arial, but these are identical.
