Irregular behavior when installing Fonts in Windows 7

[MrBrinjal]

Hi everyone!
When i install a font in Windows 7, the fonts behave irregularly.
For instance, if I install the font family of Helvetica, write some normal text and turn the text into bold, it turns into italic instead of bold. And when I click the Italic button, it turns into Bold Italic. Why this happens?
Secondly, whenever I install a new font, and restart my PC, the "Segoe UI" changes to "Arial" or "Tahoma". To fix this, I have to reboot 2-3 times again. Please tell me how to solve this annoying problem. I am searching here & there for a solution. I also posted this in the Microsoft Q&A forum but I am not getting any professional help.

Thank you.

Hello MrBrinjal, welcome to Seven Forums.

To assist answering your question, could you please state what application/program are you using to test your Fonts? And where are you obtaining the Fonts from?

I use Microsoft Word 2016 (32-bit). I get fonts from many places, "cufonfonts" is my favorite. Other than that, I also get fonts from dafontfree, and websites I don't remember.
Well, I also want to state that I updated the Segoe UI font on my Windows 7 PC, from the Windows 7 style to Windows 10 style. The Windows 10 Segoe UI looks more modern and clean, that's why. I think all this misbehavior is happening after I did that. What do you say?:sarc:

Had you tried a Font Manager program, to search which fonts are successfully installed? For example, you may have installed the Bold Italic Font but not the Italic Font, etc. Using a Font Manager program will let you see visually, what is installed and what is not.

Windows 10 font may be different to Windows 7 font, because on a different computer, you would have a different (more modern) graphics card installed- would you think that is possible?

Also, make sure ClearType is turned on. ClearType improves the legibility of text.
To turn on ClearType, from a rb: Search box, type cttune, and select entry from list of results. Make sure the ClearType tick box is ticked.

Just for the heck of it, try clearing the font cache and see if that helps. https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-rebuild-a-font-cache

No I don't even know if such kind of font manager exists. And I haven't touched ClearType settings. It is turned on, I checked
The Windows 10/8 font I got is from a normal installation of Windows 8.1 in VMware.

Yes, Font Manager software exists. Some of it is free, some of it is paid. Review these examples from this blog post for 2020 Top 8 Best Font Managers For Windows In 2020

Will Font Manager software help in any manner?
I clicked your link, and then install the font manager called FontBase.

@iko32 As I told you, I installed FontBase. But instead of fonts, it displays some weird rectangular symbols, not letters. And secondly, when I tried to search for "Times New Roman" which is, of course, a very common font. It said "No results found."... why?
