I am working in ArchiCAD 22
I started to work with someone new and their template contains a font that first wasn't on my computer. I loaded the right font to my Windows 10, the template comes from a Mac. As I am trying to make sure the text is showing correctly I open a text box, select the text and set the font to the desired font but when I close the text editing, the font reverts to a text name adding western after the font name, and it changes to the same font name but then adds western after it and it isn't available and shows the default windows font. Whatever I do it keeps, reverting to a missing font. I restarted the computer, made sure the needed fonts were installed and working. Opened same file on other windows computer and am still having same issue.
I added fonts Mrhandy and HeavyHand. When I select Mrhandy it sets the font to missing "Mrhandy western".

Does the font work in a fresh file?
Note: You can use "start + shift + s" to screenshot just the relevant part of your screen.

Your screeenshot seems to show "MrHand", not "MrHandy" .... MrHand was a licensed/purchased font, at least 24 years ago. If you install it on your system, the text should use the font. Perhaps there is an issue with "MrHandy"? Are you able to create new text with MrHandy?
Are you able to change the {MrHand western] - missing - font text to something standard, like Arial? If not, there might be something related to your selection. Since the title is in Mr Hand, most likely the carriage return/new line are in Mr Hand also... so you may have to select up through the first character that is in a different font?

Thanks for the answers!
I know I have had this problem several times when I adjusted the font and then when I exit the text block it switches to a missing or different font type. Maybe it is a bug. it also has problems when there are more than one font in a text box.
Karl I mistyped the font name it is Mrhand, that I was given by the client.
