Import a font

We don't import a font from FontBook into Pages.

We install fonts in one of the Fonts folders then we use FontBook to activate or desactivate one or several fonts.

Details available in the FontBook's Help.

Where can I find how to import a font -- from the font book, e.g. -- into Pages?

Do you have a font sitting in your Fonts folder and listed in Fontbook but you cannot see it in the Pages font menu? If so, what is the name of the font, and where did you get it?

As Yvan says, you don't import a font into Pages. You either activate a font using Apple's FontBook program or simply drop the font into the Fonts folder that is inside your Library folder. Having seen more than a few people struggle with this, I suspect that what's behind your question is that you downloaded a font and activated it but it isn't showing up in Pages. Oftentimes font changes aren't seen by programs that are running when the font is added or removed. Quitting and restarting the application does the trick.

I wanted to import a font which has all the Greek characters

OS X already has everything for Greek, no need to import a font, Lucida Grande does it. OS X/Pages, unlike Appleworks, use Unicode, which means you no longer switch fonts to switch scripts, but activate a keyboard layout or use the Character Palette (edit > special characters) instead. You can activate a Greek layout in system prefs/international/input menu.

Just ask if you have any problems doing Greek input from Character Palette or the Greek keyboard.
