Hi,
I have created a new font and correctly installed in Font Book, but I can't visualize it in a Pages document.
With the TextEdit app I can choose it by the menu "More Font" as I can choose it in word, but in Pages no.
In the "Book Font" I can't see the font if I select the input source in Italian, but I can see it with the English input source.
How does it possible that Pages deny to choose the font?
Thanks

It sounds like you're running into Apple's system of hiding fonts based on your chosen language. Some apps, like TextEdit, MS Office, the Adobe apps and others ignore these restrictions and show you every active font. Others, such as the Affinity suite, Pages, Font Book, and most other Apple created apps, block you from using fonts that don't match your language/region.
What you may need to do is go back into your font editor and add the necessary codepage so your font will appear under both English and Italian. As an example of a bunch of fonts I recently acquired, they go around this block by adding essentially every possible codepage to the font's internal settings.
Drop that font into your /Users/yourname/Library/Fonts folder. It is one of three System searched locations for fonts and once you do that, it is very likely, provided it is a compatible font, that it will appear in the Pages font menu.
I have followed your suggest, but the font don't show in the Pages' list menu.
I thinks the font is correctly created because in other app I can choose my font without problem.
Anyway I will try to change some setting in the font app.
Oh, sure. Come in with the simpler solution. 😃
The solution was simpler than expected, it was enough to know.
Thanks a lot, now I can see all the characters.
Anyway, thank you for your suggestion, I will continue to study the program to understand how to solve the problem in the future.
