Q: Fonts installed - but Keynote disagrees

Hi all

I have installed a couple of new fonts (as User fonts, using Font Book). All apps, including Keynote show them as available when editing. However, when I open a Keynote that requires these fonts, Keynote complains that one of them is not available and substitutes another font in its place.

Any ideas?

Thanks Gary - that has sorted it! I'm curious though, why did I need to do that for one of the two fonts I installed, but not the other?

One of the font was corrupted but not the other.

I have the same problem, but validating in the font book did not solve the problem.

I went ahead and removed, and reinstalled the problem font family, and then deleted and reinstalled Keynote, to no success.

Any alternate solutions you could propose Gary? Or anyone else? I would consider going through the presentation and changing fonts manually, but I'm editing numerous files that are being sent to me by a colleague, so it will be painstaking to check the font of every text element.
