Missing Arial Bold and Arial Italic fonts.

When I open up a pdf drawing file in the latest version of Adobe Illustrator, I get an error message saying that two fonts are not available on this computer, Arial Bold and Arial Italic even though they are loaded on the computer.  Many lines of text of the drawing are complete gibberish. The OS is Windows 10.  How do I fix this problem.

    No font management is installed, I'm using USA english as did the group that originally produced the pdf file.  I don't know which program they used to draw it originally.  What do you mean by "which system"

    Did you use the dialog box "Find Font"?


    Where is the dialogue box in this latest version of illustrator.  I've been using earlier versions?  THanks
