Luckily for us Mac users, the good folks at Apple have made the process of importing custom fonts a straightforward process. Selecting a font you like to Double-click the font file to open the Font Book application. The font displays in a window, providing a preview of what it will look like in PowerPoint.

Hi I have been having the same issues with fonts, been trying to figure it out myself for weeks, really pulling my hair out, have had to work on a macbook thats over 10 years old as my new macbook wont show the font I need. I spent 3 hours on the phone to apple and 2 long calls with Microsoft, and no one can help me. Your post was how i found my font cache, no one else even told me it could be somewhere else! I have followed everything in your post, but I still can not get the font I need to work, and infact other new fonts I download do not appear either! Is there anything else you could advise? I’m at the very end of my tether Thanks Anna. I phoned Microsoft’s helpline to report an Excel bug to them.

They kept asking me for my credit card no matter how much “but I am trying to help YOU”. I don’t know why sometimes either. Sorry these suggestions didn’t help – it seems there are many issues surrounding all this. It could also simply be they don’t know and the complicatedness is understood by Apple and is so complicated that it is hard for Microsoft to figure it out. Did you know that Microsoft has been supplying MS Office for Mac since Mac’s inception (I am watching too many Netflix documentaries)?

Thank you so much for your step by step process! I had an issue with Didot.tff font after upgrading my MacBook where didn’t show up correctly in Microsoft Word (the numbers were all messed up). Having typed all of my family recipes in this font, I didn’t want to have to redo them all just to get them to print correctly. I copied a previous version of the Didot font from my old MacBook that wasn’t upgraded and installed it using your steps above. Finally no more tweaking each file for it to print correctly! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I am so confused!

For a few years now I have download new fonts into my Font Book and can use them all in PPT and Word. Recently I bought and downloaded a new font bundle and only half the fonts would load. I have tried creating a new collection to download the other half and while they appear in the font book they don’t appear in PPT. I tried downloading different fonts and the same thing happened (they are in my Font Book but not in applications.

I have restarted my computer (many times!) and I can’t find the Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Preferences/Office 2011 – it doesn’t appear to exist!!! Any ideas on what to do next?? Samsung galaxy apps for mac download. Yeah, I’m amazed at how many of the apple users want “microsoft” to fix the issue, when in fact the fonts work great on every windows PC, but it is only the monopolistic, unconstitutional, evil morons at Apple are the ones “blocking” fonts from presentations or programs designed on Windows. I am in hell right now when I have to purchase overly priced crappy macbooks with their inferior operating system just because the clients who are too dumb to realize the obvious buy a Mac, and surprise surprise when the same presentation is created on a Mac and the fonts manually changed, the same fonts when sent to apple users work. Wow what a “coincidence”. Go figure that out all you morons bashing Microsoft.

The sad truth is that all you posers are just using these crappy machines that are 3 decades behind windows 10 in terms of user experience, and a decade behind in terms of technology. Sorry if I came out too strong, I am super-furious right now.

This thing is beginning to feel like a twilight zone episode.

Earlier this week, I started to prepare for the OS X, iOS, Photography and Italian courses I teach at local colleges here in Delaware. I rely heavily on both Pages and Keynote.

In fact, these two are my favorite apps of all-time, and I do mean all-time! Now that Pages and Keynote (and Numbers) for both OS X, iOS and iCloud.com are almost perfectly integrated – truly a beautiful thing – I have decided to fully adopt cross-platform document production starting this Fall semester. I was looking into some commercially-designed Keynote themes (templates) for some fresh ideas. I purchased and downloaded a $1.99 app called by Jumsoft, available for free on the Mac App Store. Jumsoft also makes available the Toolbox for Pages app.

These Toolboxes are actually browsers that showcases all of the Keynote and Pages themes, clipart, and other graphical elements that Jumsoft has developed. Several are free but most are for sale as in-app purchases. Bundles are available at quite reasonable prices given the professional quality of the designs. In their documentation, Jumsoft claims that all their themes and designs are compatible with the latest Keynote version 6.
