What happened to the Iowan Old Style font in Pages?

I am unable to get the Iowan Old Style font to be seen or activated by Font Book in macOS Sierra (10.12). It's sitting right in /Library/Fonts, just like it always has and validates just fine in Font Book. When I opt to install the font, I get prompted for authorization, but the font never appears in Font Book. I can install other fonts, but not Iowan Old Style.

I've tried resetting the font databases with atsutil, rebooting into safe mode. No luck.

It must be from the update. I just updated my iPad in the past day or two. I had OneNote documents set to write in Iowan Old Style automatically. I opened a new page, and it was typing in Times... lo and behold it's no longer in the list. I guess they dropped it. I liked it too. 😟

As far as I can tell: Apple used to make the local versions of iCloud fonts selectable from within applications such as Pages, then stopped. The fonts are still used locally, but only in documents that were created in iCloud. In other words, we can select Athelas, Iowan Old Style, et cet. when we create documents in iCloud. When we open those documents in Pages, Iowan Old Style is used and also appears in the font list. But it does not appear in the font list for other documents.

I too am disappointed. I liked some of those fonts, but I never create documents on iCloud.

Send the TTF in FontXChange and convert it to OTF. Delete the TTF of your system. I'm using it right now in FontExplorer with QuarkXpress. It seem that even OSX is blocking the activation of that font.

I can confirm that it is not available on my iPad as well. But since I have never used it nor had any interest in it, can't say when it was removed or if I ever had it.

I meant to say "iBooks fonts". I think they are the odd ones. Work-around: create a document in iCloud with the fonts that you want, then save it as a template in Pages locally. It's working for me.
