Can I restore cambria typeface to Pages?
I just bought a new Laptop Pro and work in Pages, but found that some fonts have been removed, especially cambria and calibria. What can be done?

Cambria and Calibri are Microsoft fonts included with MS Office for Mac 2011. They are not provided by Apple in OS X, or in any version of Pages. You will have to purchase and install Office for Mac 2011 to obtain these missing fonts.
Try searching for downloadable versions of the fonts that are compatible with a Mac. They may be free, they equally well may not.
Here's one, downloadable copies of Cambria and Calibra. http://www.rmtweb.co.uk/calibri-and-cambria-fonts-for-mac
Thanks for your reply. I have installed MS Office for 2011, and therefore show cambria and other fonts in HD/Library/Fonts/Microsoft, but not in HD/System/Library/Fonts. Can I merely move copies of the MS fonts I want to the System library, and then have it available for Pages, etc.? Or will I be causing trouble? [Some of the online discussions describe the consequences of moving and removing fonts a potential nightmare, although I would think that this is not of the same order).
Don't move the Microsoft Fonts, as this will step on some existing OS X fonts. This is why Microsoft installed the fonts in the Microsoft directory location. See the link in my previous post that explains why.
In Finder preferences, under Sidebar, check your computer name under DEVICES. This is important because you want to be able to navigate to the Microsoft font directory in the next step.
Instead, launch Font Book from Utilities.
The Microsoft fonts will be opened, checked, and associated with your Microsoft font collection

Have you also tried looking for them in Format > Font > Show Fonts (i.e. not just the Pages dropdown menu)?
