Dear all,
I have a strange problem when I try to print or export to pdf my .pages document.
I use FontAwesome.otf in order to have some nice icons but when I print the document this icons are smaller then the document.
I also try to make them bigger but they get reduce anyway.

Any suggestion is more then welcome, thank you!
OS X Yosemite (10.10)
How did you manage to install it?
I can't get Yosemite's FontBook to open it.

To install fontawesome you simply download the kit from this link. Once you unzipped the file you will find the .otf font inside the folder 'font'. Then simply drag and drop the font inside your fontbook.
To insert an icon in pages you simply copy and paste it from the cheatsheet. Remember to change the font to FontAwesome in the Format > Text panel otherwise you would not see the character.
Hope it helps!
I found what the issue is. Apparently pages.app has a problem with fontawesome.otf. Strangely installing and using the .ttf version fixed the problem.
I had the same problem with the CoreHumanist family (.ttf)
I confirm that the problem was fixed after converting the font to .otf using an online tool like https://cloudconvert.org/otf-to-ttf
BTW another discussion is going here: Font is smaller when I print or export to PDF
I was having the same problem with Aleo, I removed the .otf version and replaced it with the .ttf version. This is obviously not a solution to Yosemite not liking some fonts for an unknown reason, but at least it's a workaround that does the trick for now.
Dude... you're awesome! Thanks this had been bugging me for ages in Pages!
