Why is Century Gothic not available on my new M1 MacBook Pro?

Since I bought my M1 MacBook Pro I've had to replace the Century Gothic font in documents that use it. I've tried installing the font with Font Book, but it's not available. Since this is a font I really like and find easy for reading, I'd like to get it back.

Fonts available for document support

These fonts are available only to documents that already use the font, or to apps that request the font by name. Some are older fonts that were included with earlier versions of macOS or Apple apps.

That's interesting - it's listed under this heading:

That sounds as though you cannot use it in a new word document?

This info says that it ships with Microsoft Office; so you may want to check with MS:

I have an Office 365 Subscription on my M1 MBP. To test, I opened a new document and was able to choose Century Gothic as the font I wanted to use.

OK.......MS Apps run great on my new MBP M1 but have to have them for my work.

Yes, but that is because of your MS subscription I would assume. I meant using it with Mac OS.

I just checked Pages, which I never use and Century Gothic isn't there. I haven't tried to download the font as I have no need to use Pages.

I just checked the Font Book App on my MBP and it appears Century Gothic isn't an option. Perhaps there is an app on the App Store, which you can purchase which may include Century Gothic?

You're welcome.
