P22 fonts won't work validate or install

I have some old P22 Type Foundry fonts in some old documents. When I open a document with them in Pages or Word I'm told that some fonts are missing even though I can see and validate them in Font Book. I can ignore that notification and view or print the document as long as I don't update it. That is the problem in my old iMac. For my new one the fonts don't appear and can't be installed, viewed, or validated. I looked into repurchasing them for the new computer but haven't heard back.

I'm including a screenshot of a document with the P22 DaVinci font. Can these fonts be rescued?

Hey MRBarrett27,

We'd be happy to help. Sounds like you purchased a font or fonts from P22, but they're not working with your Mac. You mentioned that you couldn't install, view, or validate them on your new Mac. To clarify, do you receive a particular error when attempting to do so? Have you reached out to who you purchased this font from in the first place for further guidance on this matter? They'd likely be best equipped to assist you with getting them working on your new Mac.

Once you hear back from wherever this font originated from, you'll find more help installing the font on your Mac with these steps:

Install fonts

1. Double-click the font in the Finder.

2. Click Install in the font preview window that opens. The font then appears in the Font Book app, and is available for use in your apps.

If you want the fonts you install to also be available to other user accounts on your Mac, use Font Book settings to set the default install location.

This is outlined further here: Install or remove fonts on your Mac - Apple Support

We hope this helps out.

Take care!
