Keynote fonts not reading correctly Mac OS Monterey

I'm experiencing this bug too, not only in Keynote, but in Pages and Numbers also.

Fonts show as expected in Office.

Same issue here. Fonts from RightFont, Adobe Fonts and installed fonts directly in the macOS font library are not working in Pages, Keynote and Numbers. I hope Apple fixes that quickly.

I have also problems with Keynote fontnames: they are all boxes with question marks inside. Selecting them, font name changes to the actual name and it works, but all the fonts imported with Font Explorer are just question marks.

I am having the same problem. Fonts obtained through Adobe Fonts work in Adobe products but not in Apple products. The characters display as question marks in the font list and if used the characters overlap as other users have mentioned.

I'm having the same issue with Adobe Fonts in Pages. Not all Adobe Fonts, just the ones I have most recently used. (Which of course are the ones I need the most!)

I removed and reinstalled the fonts from Adobe Fonts, and it didn't resolve the issue. I also confirmed that the same fonts are working just fine in Affinity Designer. It's just Pages where they're super-tight and overlapping. I checked in Numbers, and the same fonts are just showing a bunch of question marks in squares rather than the correct text. (Missing glyphs.)

I tried that suggestion:

1. $ sudo atsutil databases -remove
2. Enter your system password and hit return.
3. $ atsutil server -shutdown
4. $ atsutil server -ping
5. Reboot

It didn't work for me as it stated for each line I entered: "Command not found."

I also read the other person's post having to get rid of his font apps and use Apple's Font Book instead. I'm not doing that, as I use Font Agent and need to use it for my other apps. So I guess I'm going to have to wait until the next update when they figure this glitch out. Which I hope is soon. Until that happens, I'm glad that I have Big Sur v11.6 working on another SSD, so I can boot into that if I really need to use Keynote.

No, I haven't, and I don't see the exact connection with it either? Why should I? Because I don’t have any permission issues, the fonts are all active and selectable (I can use them), only the family names are not properly displayed, so it's most likely some kind of font cache problem. See my example screenshots from Keynote and TextEdit.

I have never used “the cloud” to install anything. I’ve only ever used what I’ve ever had that was already on the system, From the beginning. So again I’ve never used cloud and never gave Apple permission to allow any type of backup or installation through the cloud. So I’m still puzzled as to why my situation is still happening the way it is?

Well, regardless of the issue, how would you then install these fonts manually? If you can give a detailed description of how to do that would be extremely helpful, thank you.

Well I did what you said:

1) Launched Font Book

2) Press the "+" symbol

3) Added the font

After doing I noticed that whatever other fonts that I had on there, for some reason just completely disappeared. Now I have only ONE font family installed and even THAT one doesn't even work on Keynote when I start it up. Now nothing works. So now what?

But where do you find the Creative Cloud fonts in your System folder? I go to the Font Book app and click on the "+" but I can't find the fonts on my laptop that I have installed on Creative Cloud (that I got via Typekit.adobe)

I use Adobe Fonts in all my Keynote presentations. When I noticed the fonts appearing as boxed question marks and tight tracking (space between characters), I thought something must have been corrupted in the system--I did a clean reformat, but the problem persists.

Praying this gets fixed soon.

same issue. Doesn't seem to be an Adobe thing because most of my fonts now show up as ? in Apple Keynote or Pages.. I use RightFont and really don't wan to use Font Book.

Incredibly frustrating

Apple, please fix this!!!!!!

I also have the same situation. I manage fonts with FontExplorer X Pro and only on Keynote and Pages some families are compromised. I tried all of them too: remove the cache from terminal, remove fonts from Creative Cloud (but the problem is not only with Adobe fonts), even rename the family and "weight" (since it seems to have several problems with Regular fonts) with Glyph but not even that. I'm hoping for the Mac OS 12.1 update that fixes the problems. Do you know when it will be released since they released the RC to developers today?

Sadly theTerminal approach did not work for me.

The Monterey update to 12.1 (also mentioned to help here and elsewhere) does not work either.

I have had this problem (fonts displaying as ? glyphs in Keynote) since updating to Monterey.

I use FontAgent Pro and have 100's of font sets. I have heard that removing non Apple font software and only using Font Book can help, but as a designer this is a horrible thing to do - has anyone found this works before I try?

Same here. Keynote, pages and numbers all seem to have the problem. When looking in other software I don't have any problems
