There is a popular thread about this issue, but it is now locked and so I can't give a solution. A solution was already shared on that thread, being that you must install your fonts for all users, using administrator access. However, if you've already installed hundreds of fonts, and don't want to redownload them to install for all users, there is an easy solution.

  2. Paste %appdata%\..\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts and press Enter
  3. You should see all your installed fonts, press Ctrl + A to select all the font files
  4. While all the files are selected, right click any one of the files and press "Install for all users", not "Install" (with the shield icon, requires administrator privileges)


It should install all the fonts to the %windir%/Fonts folder, and should now work in all programs even after reboots.
