Windows 11 and InDesign 17.3

True Type font is installed for Windows, InDesign can't find it. What are the troubleshooting steps to resolve this?

Thanks.

When you installed the font did you install it for all users? Did you try putting it into the InDesign\fonts folder?

What is the font exactly, and where did you get it from?

I have ongoing issues with multiple fonts. To name only a few:

Minion Pro Regular
Palatino Lt Std Regular
Century Bold
Miller Text Bold
another font whose name starts with a B and which Adobe says is a bad word which I am not allowed to use.
every day I discover new ones that are not working.

Most of them I own, have owned since before I started this job 14 years ago. This is following an upgrade to a new PC with Windows 11.

The only thing that works is putting them in a Document fonts folder in the same folder as the document. But I now have Document fonts folders all over the place. This is a clumsy workaround, not a solution.
