I know this is an old post, but in case someone arrives here, this might help them out as it just did for me as I migrate an old project onto a new PC.  
A clean install of Windows 10 Enterprise (or maybe even Home edition) does not have all the Arial font variations. Microsoft Office installs the additional ones like Arial Narrow. So, if you have the font on an existing computer, copy it from the C:\Windows\Fonts folder and when you install on the new computer, be sure to right click (or highlight multiple fonts and right click) and select "Install for all users". Don't just drag and drop the font files into the folder.

Thanks to Anton for pointing this out.

> You don’t add fonts to Ignition. You add fonts to operating system. When designer (or client) starts, it’ll read fonts and they will be available. But (at least on Windows) you must install fonts for all users (right click on the font file and choose ‘Install for all users’)… and the fonts must be installed on all PCs, where clients or designers will be running.
