I've run into this before. You've probably installed or updated something
that had its own version of fonts with these names. Although fonts display
themselves to you by name, they identify themselves to the system and
apps by code numbers, and your new fonts have different code numbers
even though they display with the same names and have overwritten
other fonts with the same names, so the app that is looking for its old
font codes doesn't recognize the new ones. This mostly seems to happen
when the conflicting apps are by (surprise!) Adobe and MS. The only
solution I have found to this is to reinstall the app that thinks the fonts
are missing and let it reinstall its fonts.
