I have been having some issues with text displaying as italic, and I narrowed down the problem to the Arial font (which is also a default font for programs like R and Outlook). In trying to fix this, I went to Settings > Fonts > Arial, and discovered that the Regular face appears normal and links to the normal spot (C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\ARIAL.TTF). I then went to Control Panel > Fonts > Font settings > Restore default font settings. This also did nothing.
Finally, I went to the actual file location (c:\windows\fonts) and I am missing the actual Arial font. I have Arial Black, Bold, Bold Italic, Italic, and all four faces of Arial Narrow. I am missing a plan old "Arial" font. This has cleared up the mystery of why all my Arial text is italic (presumably the default has switched to Arial Italic), but I am left without a fix.
Is there an easy way to download just the Arial font file (or even re-download all the Arial family fonts)? I have failed to find a website that I trust to download a file from, and I cannot find some place on Microsoft's website for a secure download. I am also unsure of when this exactly occurred (sometime in the last month or so), so I can't figure out what caused this to happen. I have found a file in Program Files > Microsoft Office > root > Document Themes 16 > Theme Fonts that is Arial.xml, but I can't just copy/paste that into the windows\fonts and the settings > fonts > install fonts function won't let me use this file either.
Please help, it's driving me nuts to have all my emails and ggplot2 graphs in italics.
