Replied In Invisible Text In Big Sur
OK, I've found the reason (and temporary solution!). It's because of LCD Font Smoothing enabled (CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled option in terminal) If you have Arial problems check current settings (it will be 0): defaults read -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled 2. To repair disable setting (set to 1) defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool YES Then restart applications with font problems and voila, Arial is visible now.

Replied In Invisible Text In Big Sur
It is probably Apple system font problem. How to reproduce/check? Open "Font Book", select all fonts, then Arial, then Normal. Result: There is no font preview on the right pane of Font Book. When you select other font style (i.e. Italic) preview is visible. I've tried restoring original fonts (from File menu) but Arial/Normal is still missing. Same with Calibri, but in this case there is no Calibri on the list!

Replied In Big Sur and Office applications
Installed Big Sur Beta 6 & latest Outlook Beta - still same problem (there are no Arial and Calibri fonts available). Terrible issue, cannot use Outlook or Excel.
