Funny enough I had this issue just yesterday after editing a font to contain non-English characters using FontForge. I forgot to change the font's UniqueID in the metadata when exporting, so it was being treated by Windows as being the 'same' font, which ended up somehow corrupting the font (but only when viewed from my published Storyline file). It was listed as a separate font in every program I accessed, but it only had one entry in my Windows font directory. I guess it was being treated as part of the same font family even though they had different amount of supported characters.

I uninstalled both fonts, re-exported the new font with a UNIQUE UniqueID, then freshly re-installed both of them. After that the problem was solved.

Is it possible that the specific font you're having issues with supports different characters from the rest of its font family?
