Can the font warning pop-up in Pages be disabled? Every non-Pages document that contains a non-Pages font gets a pop-up. The question was asked nine years ago, when it was apparently not possible. Has this finally been resolved?
No. Pages expects any referenced font to be physically installed on the Mac, and when it isn't it warns and attempts to perform font substitution. This is a common issue where a specific font may not be installed on Windows, and Word will allow one to make faux italic or bold variations of a given font that gives Pages fits.
There is no preference to suppress the warning panel, but you can swat it away when it occurs with the control+w shortcut from the View menu.
Thank you, VikingOSX. I understand the intent, but I'd hoped the pop-up could be selected/deselected as a preference at some point in the versioning. I appreciate the update.
