Font issue with MS Office 16.77.1 (365)

I use Bauhaus93 for my company logo in MS Word header & MS Excel text boxes (invoices/ statement of works/ timesheet/ etc).

I noticed that when I created recent invoices at the end of Sept, the font was not displaying correctly.

Weirdly the font displays correctly in MS Excel cells but not the text box.


I've had a read of some existing posts, understand that it's part of the Office install and not a native Mac font and have tried the following:

1)cleared font cache using "sudo atsutil databases -remove" & rebooted

2)removed MS Word/ MS Powerpoint app and re-installed - no change. I didn't do the full uninstall of clearing Library etc (yet)

3)started in safe mode - same issue

4)tried downloading a new font package and importing into FontBooks but made no difference so removed it. Minor validation issue with kern table structure

5)expanded the MS Word app package contents : \contents\resources\dfonts - font is there and can be opened in FontBook. Minor validation issue with kern table structure

6)copied that font out of DFonts into \Library\Fonts and Users\[user]\Library\Fonts


None of which seemed to made any difference and I'm not sure what to do next other than the complete uninstall of Office.

Anyone got any ideas?

I had an ancient Bauhaus 93 Type 1 font suitcase, some Type 1 Bauhaus 93 display fonts, and an OpenType Truetype Bauhaus 93 font — all in my ~/Library/Fonts folder. That was the "detritus" that I spoke of and subsequently removed from that location. There was no longer a Bauhaus 93 entry in Font Book. The font location inside the Microsoft application bundle is not seen by Font Book that location is not among the three primary font search locations used by the operating system.


Once I achieved the first paragraph, the Bauhaus 93 font internal to Word 16.77.1 appeared on the font menu and was applied to the selected text.
