How to add Chinese fonts in pages?

I just explained how to add fonts. Just double click on any font files.

There are a range of Chinese fonts just scroll down to them:

Adobe Fan Heiti

Adobe Fangsong

Adobe Heiti

Adobe KaiTi

Adobe Ming

Microsoft Tai Le

Microsoft Yi Baiti

MingLi

PMingLi

SimSun

Sinhala

STHeiti

STFangsong

STKaiti

etc

To type in Chinese choose your input method:

Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources > check Show Input menu in menu bar > click on + > Add Chinese (Simplified/Traditional) whatever method you want

You can choose your input method from the right hand side of the Menu bar when you need them.

There already are a range of Chinese fonts in OSX. You should be able to just open your document. If you have a problem it may be an old encoding in the document, make sure you save any Word document as Unicode.

You add all fonts to OSX not Pages

Preferably they should be Unicode Opentype but it will accept Truetype and Type 1 Mac Postscript fonts.

Just double click the font file and they are added to the System fonts. You manage them with Font Book.

Oh!!! I didn't noticed that they are Chinese fonts

To type Chinese you have to change the keyboard layout to Pinyin or something related. Once that is done, the font will take care of itself. If for some reason you don't like the style of the one which appears, you just select the text and change it in the font menu of the app.

Also you should make sure that in system prefs/language & region you have Chinese higher up on the list than Japanese (if both are present). Otherwise you may get Japanese versions of some Han characters instead of Chinese versions.

Those are for non-Chinese scripts: Tai Le, Yi, and Sinhala

Sorry Tom, I should have recognised Sinhala at least, my only excuse it was the wee small hours. 😀
