Gill Sans is not working correctly. Gill Sans Light appears as a serif font and Gill Sans Regular appears as Gill Sans Light?

Hi as0773,

It appears that this case is not one that was covered by the hotfix today. The best course of action to ensure that this is captured is to use the in-app feedback to submit a report (using the smiley face icon).

    Same issue here. Office Slow Insider Build updated to 16.9 yesterday. 

    Our PowerPoint presentations show the font as "DIN Pro" but are actually displaying in Arial. If we select the text and re-apply the DIN font it does correct it, but we would have to do this on every slide. If we roll Office back to 15.4 the PPT decks work without editing.

    Hi Nick,

    Can you clarify whether you're experiencing the other issues noted in the thread? Are you missing a font as well that is installed, or having problems with Gill fonts displaying incorrectly all the time?

    Hi HLA3135,

    Can you clarify which issue in this thread you're experiencing? Is it Gill fonts not displaying correctly, or a font missing from Word?

    I am having the same problem. I used to have all my documents in Helvetica Neue Light and after updating to office 365 Word 16.9, the font looks alot heavier than it used to. I want to revert the fonts back to how they used to look - are there any solutions for this?

    Even reverting to the previous version of word?
