ArchiCAD persistently fails to recognize some fonts. I repeated the tests I conducted on versions 26 and 27 in version 28 with the hope that it might have been fixed, but to no avail. It continues to fail in recognizing certain fonts.
All other software installed on my system can easily recognize these fonts that ArchiCAD cannot. In all the tests I've conducted with Photoshop 2025, Libre Office 24.8, and Inkscape 1.3.2, all the fonts installed on my system are visible without any issues, but for some reason, ArchiCAD persists in this failure. How can this issue be resolved?
It's quite intriguing that even free software does not have font issues, yet ArchiCAD hasn't fixed this error for at least 2 years.
PS: Fonts appear in the font list in AC26, but when I try to change the font of the text to this one (the one that appears in square brackets in AC27 and AC28), AC26 crashes.

When you open your Windows > Fonts folder, what information does it show there for the Barlow fonts?
This is a 'Detailed' list view.
