How do you disable the warnings window in pages

How do you disable the warning about substituted fonts, etc. when opening or reopening a Pages document? I am tired of seeing this almost every time I open Pages. The last straw for me was the appearance of "Warning: there aren't any warnings". Failing that, where can one find and install the common missing fonts when working on .docx documents imported into Pages (like Calibri)?

There is no means to prevent the Warnings panel, only the ability to hide it after it has appeared, via the View menu : Hide Warnings.


Pages will not invent fonts or font styles if they are not installed. MS Word will invent faux bold and italic appearances, and when the real fonts are not installed on OS X, you will get that warning panel.


Microsoft Office fonts (Calibri, Cambria, etc.) are licensed by Microsoft via Office 2016 for Mac, or Office for Mac 2011 installations. They are not freely downloadable from the web as some would suggest. If someone downloads and uses a Windows-only Font, or downloads a free font from the Internet — and uses these in a Word document that is not offered by Microsoft, or Apple, then you will get another warning panel. This is a real PITA without font discipline, and forethought about document interchange.
