However, ArcMap displays only the following Univers fonts:

Cause

In some cases with Adobe PostScript and OpenType fonts, the entire font family does not appear in the font list in any Windows application although they are accessible with the font formatting buttons.

Solution or Workaround

To access the missing fonts, select the base font and click the Bold and/or Italic button.

For example, select 'Univers LT Std 73 Black Ext' and click the Italic button to use the font 'Univers Std 63 Bold Extended Oblique'.
