Font Previews

Hi,
I have a problem concerning previews which seems similar to the following...

As I begin to add tags and ratings, some font previews disappear. Their samples and characters either appear in a default font (Arial), don't appear at all, or display the message 'No characters defined'. When I load a font without a preview, the preview appears, but doesn't show samples or characters. The Font Operation window says that the font is 'Not Available', but the font is available in my software, and prints fine.
I first encountered this issue in v7 on Win 10 Pro (pre- creators update). My font collection includes various formats (True Type, Postscript, and Open Type) from a variety of sources (bundled with software, purchased online, and downloaded from Font Squirrel etc), but the issue isn't specific to file format, or source. My computer is highly spec'd, so I doubt it's anything to do with memory, rendering or rasterization.
Recently I did a complete clean install of my OS and all software, and upgraded to v8 in the hope that it was solved. I'm now running the latest version of Win 10 Pro. When I install Main Type and point it at my font collection, it scans and shows all my fonts - no problem there. I hoped that a clean install might help, but as I began to add tags and ratings the issue began again.
Any ideas?
