Greetings Winn_spring,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're receiving alerts to download needed fonts in Pages and Numbers, and some fonts won't download as expected.


The following support article shows how to download and validate fonts with Font Book: Install and validate fonts in Font Book on Mac - Apple Support


If further help is needed, it would be helpful to know the behavior you experience when attempting to download fonts, including any error message that is received.


Kind regards.

thanks...further description: I can and have successfully downloaded several 'missing' fonts or font libraries. The issue is the remaining missing fonts or font families...after clicking on the download link. immediately a pop up for the download appears and then within 1 second disappears...and nothing is downloaded. No messages to indicate a failed download.

I have searched the computer for those files...no results

I just now tried a different route; I right clicked the "downloadable font asset' link and chose quick look attachment, selected open with font book; chose install....and it worked

A lot of running around for something that should have worked as easy as the others

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate the challenge to problem solve
