Description

Describe the bug
Some text fonts installed on my Windows machine are not seen by Musescore. This isn't a new problem, it's been reported several times in the past, see:
https://musescore.org/en/node/280244
https://musescore.org/en/node/282501
https://musescore.org/en/node/300756
However, it seems that the solution in that case was to select on Windows "Install for all users".
In the example I show below, however, this still doesn't work. In general, I've noticed that the list of fonts in Musescore shows less fonts than what I see in other apps. I have no clue if this is a Qt-problem, a Windows-problem, or is machine-specific. It will definitely need some more testing.

@Tantacrul @oktophonie Not sure how to prioritize this

(By the way, here is the font I was trying in this example https://github.com/benwiggy/nepomuk)
