Arial Narrow font bold renders in Italic

[Deleted member 44897]

I have noticed that my Arial Narrow font, when set to Bold, renders as Bold Italic.
(This is just Arial Narrow set to Bold.)

This has occurred in Microsoft Word and Paint Shop Pro.
I tried rebooting the OS and reinstalling Arial Narrow, but the issue still persists.

Any ideas on how to resolve? Thanks in advance!

The "Bold" font probably isn't installed on your system, check C:Windows\Fonts.

I have confirmed that the entire Arial Narrow font family is installed, but the issue persists.
Any ideas? Thanks again!

I still haven't resolved this issue. Arial Narrow set as Bold still shows in Italic, although by default the entire Arial Narrow font family is installed and intact.

I don't know if this thread fell too fast, but if anyone here might be able to provide any further insight, this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you, Chuck, for your response. I believe that I've fixed the problem on my own.

First, I deleted the entire Arial font family (except the protected ones).
Next, I reinstalled Office 2013.

As expected, Office installed a fresh Arial font family. Turns out that I had two variants of Arial Narrow on backup from years ago. In other words, these two font files were outdated and redundant. (When I installed Office 2013 the first time, I must've copied my entire fonts library over.)

But it has all been set right. Now when I set a font to Arial Narrow and click B, it doesn't italicize. My Arial font family is bug-free now. I deleted Arial from my personal font collection as I know I'll only need it from the genuine software source (Windows, Office. etc.)

Thanks again!
