reason?

Did you open the Font folder and use the File menu / Install New Font
command?

Don't know if it will work but you can try rebooting your system. It won't
hurt anything.

That's just a different type font. I have several myself and they work in
Word. Did you try rebooting or reading the link?

There are two types of red A. One is the Adobe script capital A. Those won't
be seen in Word if the option to "Show only TrueType fonts in the programs
on my computer" option has been checked in the TrueType dialog in the Fonts
folder. The other is a roman capital A and denotes a screen font. These will
never be displayed in Word. I would imagine that Sassoon Primary is the
former.
