I did a very quick search and didn't turn up anything saying it was a
known bug, let alone any mention of why or how to fix it in Sierra.
There were a few people complaining about particular fonts in older
verions of Mac OS X, where apparently a fix can be to delete certain
caches and plist file, and then repair permissions and reboot ... of
course Repair Permissions is no longer an option in Sierra.

It's very weird. :-\

It is discussed he

This document, however, predates the problem with DIN. Search that page
for 'Athelas' for a description of the problem. It seems to affect
different fonts with each new release.

Thanks for the link.

There's actually a few fonts that don't show up in other apps, but I
don't have time right now to work out which are proper Office-only ones
and which are these apparently "faulty" system fonts.

.... and it's still very weird. :-(
