We are having some problems with specifically the Arial Narrow font and the new Creators Update (Windows 10 build 1703). Any file with the Arial Narrow font is garbled. Either all of the text is stacked on top of itself or the text is not readable at all (blank). As soon as a user switches to any other font, the text does appear. This article describes an update that adds the Arial Narrow font family in Windows Embedded Compact 7. To use the Arial Narrow font family in an image, you must first add the Arial Narrow font sysgen variables to Platform Builder by using the Catalog Items view.

If I open up MS Word, I can see Arial Narrow in the font list (so I know it is on my machine somwhere).
But when I go to c:WindowsFonts or to c:Windowswinsxs I can not seem to find any file that is Arial Narrow.
Add Arial Narrow Font Windows 10
Any one know where this file is?

(I need to make a custom Arial Narrow font for a memory constrained label printer.)

FYI, when I open C:WindowsFonts in Explorer I see Arial. When I double click it, I get a Font family details screen:
Right-click > Properties on the Arial Narrow font in the above window yields:
