Missing fonts in numbers, pages

Every time I open a Numbers file I get a message saying that there are missing fonts, "Arial", "HelveticaNeue", etc. I have tried to correct the error (by replacing those fonts with the same thing), but every time I open those documents I get the same thing! The same thing occurs with Pages.

I am running the Apple Silicon (M1) version (in case that makes a difference).

MacBook Air

Pages missing fonts message: can it be turned off? Pages gives me 2 separate messages about missing fonts when I open work-related Word documents. Most of the time, I do not care about these fonts--I would be happy to see these documents in plain text with only table formatting preserved, because I just need to review the content. Pages does seem to be automatically converting to another font that works just fine for that, so I am not losing content by this. Can I tell Pages to stop cluttering my screen with these unneeded and repetitive messages, especially when it's the 10th document opened from the same sender with the same fonts missing within the same session? OS 12.6 Monterey, Pages 12.1

Pages displaying fonts with question marks I have only installed one extra font on my system, and pages is displaying it (and other fonts which I don't know which they are) as a box with question marks. When I select the Montserrat font for example, the letter spacing also does not work. (see screenshots)

Missing fonts I recently brought my computer to a different state for an extended vacation. When I opened my document on Pages, fonts were missing. Am unable to download them again. Has anyone else had the problem of fonts missing???

I have the MicroSoft specific font named Cambria. I got rid of that (I substituted it for Arial), and that got rid of my problem! It would be nice IF ONLY THOSE FONTS WHICH WERE IN ERROR got reported!
