Research shows that upgrading to Windows 10 leaves behind the Arial Narrow (and actually a few other Office 2010 fonts), but on 3 of the computers, I was able to find all the missing fonts and copy the font files to C:WindowsFonts and reboot, then have the Arial Narrow (and others) show up correctly.
BUT, on one computer, I cannot get Arial Narrow to install. I've followed the same steps as the other computers, but no Arial Narrow in the control panel fonts app. The fonts exist in c:windowsfonts. The entries for the 4 fonts exist in the registry and match the files in c:windowsfonts. I've tried right-clicking each of the 4 font files and choosing to install for all users. I've cleared the font cache files using instruction found elsewhere.
No matter what I do, I cannot get Arial Narrow to display on this one computer.
Any other ideas how I can get this font (4 fonts in the family) to be seen by Windows?

So as you can see here:
My fonts messed up for some reason. It was fine yesterday though.
I've already tried sfc /scannow which didn't do anything and I can't change the font via appearances because.. I can't read what it says when the window opens.
Any help would be very appreciated :)
Edit: I did some more digging, and according to InDesign I'm simply just missing 90% of my fonts? I don't know if that helps though.

If you haven't already, try resetting font settings if you haven't already.
That should fix corrupted fonts and add back missing Windows fonts, to my knowledge.

Right the fix I've found is to get the Arial font from any computer and install it. It looks like it won't fix it but just go over anything with your mouse and the words should appear, this way you can reset your fonts because you can actually navigate again.
You'll have to remember where you put your arial font on your usb or whatever you use though, put it in a separate map or on an empty usb as copying the arial font turns into multiple files.
edit: Seems to still do the weird font on restart
