I am having an issue where fonts i have installed on my windows machine are not showing up in illustrator. I have tried the following
(1) Tried restarting illustrator and my machine.
(2) i have tried locating and delete the Adobefnt.lst file. I couldnt find this file on my system
(3) i have verified the fonts in question work with other programs.
(4) cleaned my font cache in windows at C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache
(5) Tried copying fonts to c:\program files\common files\adobe\fonts\
(6) install the font on my adobe creative cloud account.
Any ideas?

Did you install the fonts "for all users"?
What kind of fonts are they?

I did install for all users. I dont know what you mean by type but it is a file called STCaiyun.TTF.

So it's a TTF
Did you check if it is OK?

Yes a tff. I dont know what you mean by check if its ok?
I works in word and other applications so i assume the file is ok?
Is there some other check i can perform?

Illustrator is very prissy about fonts. They have to be technically OK.
There is software that can check this.
