Apr 8, 2016 11:25 AM in response to Kurt Langby leaudulac,Hi Kurt,
There are other fonts not showing. As an example, though, I need Kameron. I got it from Google fonts. http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/google?showGoogleFontsDialog

Apr 8, 2016 12:02 PM in response to leaudulacby Kurt Lang,Ah, there's the problem. Sky fonts aren't fonts you can use on a desktop computer. They're web fonts. Not in a format to use directly on your desktop at all.
Download a free TrueType version from Font Squirrel.

Apr 8, 2016 12:32 PM in response to Kurt Langby leaudulac,Thanks. Replaced the font with Squirrel version. (It was already a ttf.) It still doesn't show in Office and does work in other apps.

Apr 8, 2016 1:00 PM in response to leaudulacby Kurt Lang,Then I'm out of ideas. If Office 2011 is the only place this happens, even under a new account, then something must be wrong with Office. Which, as you noted you're using El Capitan, many users here have had to reinstall Office and Adobe apps in order to get them working again after the OS upgrade.
Then only thing I can think to try is to download the full El Capitan installer and reinstall it. When you install over an older OS, it doesn't always work right. It does for the majority of folks, but not all. Personally, I always setup a new major OS on an erased partition and install all of my third party apps clean. I don't merge anything in from a backup other than data such as images and other documents.

Apr 8, 2016 5:08 PM in response to leaudulacby Kurt Lang,Yup, that pretty much proves it. Office 2011 was damaged. Without your disk available, you couldn't reinstall it. MS does have a page where users who have purchased Office 2011 in any manner can download the full installer. But you still need to enter your product key to do it. Without your Office 2011 box, you don't have the key since that's in with it.

Sep 25, 2016 4:01 PM in response to Kurt Langby webjundub,1,000 thanks! Feeling rather dumb for not thinking of that. It didn't come up immediately after the restart of Word, but as soon as I typed in the first few letters of the name, now it shows every time. Thanks again!

Sep 26, 2016 7:02 AM in response to webjundubby Kurt Lang,You're welcome. Office continues this weird behavior in the 2016 version. It's the only app of many I use for our small business that won't recognize fonts that have activated after the Office apps are already running. A professional app used by millions that's been around this long simply shouldn't have such an amateurish fault.
