If you do not know where or which fonts are used perhaps using the packager to gather the files may help:

How to ensure all files are gathered in Packager.

Once gathered you should be able to load the fonts to your local/offline workspace.

I don't know anything about your offline workspace, so this may not apply if you have any custom configuration going on. The default location for those "Extra" font files should be

C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\Standards\symb

Put a copy of those files you showed me in that directory and restart Microstation without ProjectWise (offline) and see if you can use them to place text.

Fonts are in RSC file, so that looks like the right one.

They can also be TTF or SHX, so you may want to copy both files over to your font directory

Which version of MicroStation are you using? That may affect which directory to put those files.
Microstation CONNECT has a configuration variable MS_FONTPATH you can use to find the location of your other local font files.
In V8i (SS#) I believe the variable you will want to look at is MS_SYMBRSRC.

If you know where those fonts are located in PW and you have the proper permissions, you should be able to "Export" your own copy of those files. You would then be able to save them over to wherever you store your "normal" fonts.
