    I'm continuing to have a similar problem, specifically with using Helvetica Neue - Bold in InDesign 16.1 on Mac Catalina. From what I understand, the Helvetica Neue.ttc font is a system font (perhaps installed by a Microsoft product on my Mac, thus a Windows font?) I've not had this problem in ID 15.x and earlier. Now, when I open any .INDD that uses this font, all the Bold text of this font simply is not displayed. I have no errors displayed nor "missing font" alerts, the text is just not displayed.
    If I export a PDF of the .INDD, strangely, the bold text renders within the PDF - AND then it also all appears within the .INDD again, as normal. But when I save and close the .INDD, the problem is back when I open the file again. I know I can change to the more robust Helvetica Neue LT Std font family, but that presents its own problems for my saved INDDs (causing some missing fonts, issues with bullet and number characters, etc.) so that's a lot of tedious fixing I'd prefer to avoid.

    Anyone else seeing this specific "non-displayed" text with Helvetica Neue Bold and ideas on how to fix it?

    Thanks
