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?

iPad 2, iOS 6.0.1

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.

  1. Create a new Microsoft Font collection
    1. Click the + button in the lower left corner.
    2. Name the new collection Microsoft
    3. Right Click on the Microsoft collection name
      1. Add Fonts…
      2. Under DEVICES in the left panel
        1. Click your computer name
        2. In the next display, double-click MacIntosh HD or the boot drive name that you used
        3. Double-click Library
        4. Double-click Fonts
        5. Single-click Microsoft and choose Open

          The Microsoft fonts will be opened, checked, and associated with your Microsoft font collection

  2. The Microsoft fonts are now available to applications. (you may need to reboot before they are accessible as the font cache needs rebuilt)
