Is there an equivalent font to Word's Century Schoolbook?

Welcome to Apple Discussions Kelly

There is no installing fonts specifically for Pages. Fonts are installed for all applications to use, although some Adobe applications may be an exception. Microsoft Office has been known to install fonts in the user library of the user who first runs any of the applications rather than in HD > Library > Fonts where they would be available to all users. If you can find the font in another user's fonts folder, you could move it to the main Library folder & it should be come available to Pages.

If you don't have the font, I'm not sure how you would get it without install a Microsoft program. The trial of Office: Mac 2004 would install fonts, but I don't know if that trial/test drive is still available since Office 2008 came out.

Century Schoolbook is a pretty standard font available from the major font publishers, Adobe, Monotype, Linotype, ITC, Bitstream etc.

Try DA Fonts, Steve's Fonts, Linotype or any of the many font sites. There may even be a free version available.

If you already have the "Word" Century Shoolbook font possibly on your PC you can even use that on your Mac.

To install any font on your Mac just double click on the font file and it will open FontBook and ask if you want to install it.

I don't remember in which package I got it.

Here I have a font named:
NewCentury Schlbk.

The Infos Windows claims:
Complete name: New Century Schoolbook

Copyright: Copyright © 1992 Linotype ****/Apple Computer Inc./Type Solutions, Inc.

The font is also available with the free openOffice package.
