Where is a safe site for the Calibri fonts?

I see several sources of Calibri fonts but am cautious about which one(s) to trust. Please suggest a good, safe place. Thanks.

Calibri is a Microsoft font, therefore two ways to use Microsoft fonts with Keynote on a Mac


1 - If you have Microsoft Office Installed on the Mac:

copy the font file in: Applications folder > Microsoft PowerPoint > Contents > Resources > Fonts > Calibri

paste to the desktop and double click to open in FontBook and select: Install Font


2 - If you don't have Microsoft Office Installed on the Mac

purchase the font from Microsoft from their website at: https://www.fonts.com/font/microsoft-corporation/calibri

That is where my Microsoft fonts reside without System font location pollution.


Thats where my Microsoft fonts are located also, but only after they have been installed by FontBook.


Don't understand System font location reference as Microsoft Office fonts are neither system fonts or stored in the system Font folder. They are stored inside the MS Office applications.

Office 2008/2011 for Mac shoved their fonts into System/Fonts. Office 2016 for Mac bundled the fonts within its respective application bundles. I don't have Office 2016 for Mac, but have long wondered if one could arbitrarily soft link the internal font folder to a folder in ~/Library/Fonts and have the MS Fonts recognized without copying them elsewhere into System font locations.


If you place fonts into the ~/Library/Fonts folder, this is part of the default System font search path, and Font Book will detect them there. However, adding fonts to Font Book does not in my experience, then place the fonts into the ~/Library/Fonts folder. I can drop fonts into ~/Library/Fonts folder, and they are immediately available to applications without running Font Book, or rebooting the Mac.
