Italics is not working in Pages with the font Arima Koshi

as is my usual method for many years


i create a text in a Microsoft Word .docx document and then open it in Pages


on this occasion i partially used the Font: Arima Koshi


in Word i had italicized f in the word if ...


when i open the document in Pages it refuses to respect my choice to Italicize the f

in that font

even if i highlight the f and click the italicize button




the other font i am using in the document is Corbel and that italicizes without any problem




is there any way to force Pages to Italicize the font Arima Koshi ?



thankyuuu in advance for any assistance



Pages version 14.1 (7040.0.73)


Mac Sonoma 14.5






Mac Studio, macOS 14.5

The actual problem is Word.


One version of Amari Koshi is included with the OS; ExtraBold. There are six other styles that can be downloaded from various sites on the web. None that I found included an italic face.



So this set, and the single included font included with the OS gives you nine that will appear in a font list.


Since there is no italic font, Word is faking italic by applying an attribute. Pages ignores this because there is no real italic font to use.
