Adding Fonts from Font app to Pages app

The Apple Chancery font is installed by the operating system (including High Sierra and Mojave) in standard font collection search locations. In my Pages v7.2 on Mojave, the Apple Chancery font does not appear in the expected alphabetic location on the Pages font menu, but all the way to the bottom after Zapfino. On High Sierra, again with Pages v7.2, Apple Chancery is sorted properly in the Pages font menu.

Other than activating or deactivating fonts, Font Book has nothing to do with adding fonts to Pages.

Font Book controls fonts for all Apps on your Mac. It can turn your fonts off and on. If you have ITC Zapf Chancery on your Mac you can search for it, if it is turned off you can turn it on.

ITC Zapf Chancery used to be part of the System fonts.

If you still want it download it from here. Once downloaded, double click on the font file to install it.

It is not available in the list that you pick from when typing in Pages or TextEdit.

It is not clear to me whether when you say "the list" that you have also looked in the list which you get when you do Format > Font > Show Fonts. This is different than the drop down list you see in those apps.

It was much easier to have it right there next to what I was typing

I'm sure it will come back eventually, after reboots or reinstalling the app. Such problems are usually caused by broken cache files or something similar. You might try a safe boot, it often clears things up

macOS Sierra: Start up in safe mode

Go to Pages > Format > Font > Show Fonts. Can you select and use Apple Chancery from that list?

Do you also not see it anywhere in Format > Fonts > Show Fonts?

I see all the Apple fonts there. They just don't show up when I'm typing in Pages and bring up those fonts.

Selecting a font from that list should make it active in Pages, even if you do not see it at first in Pages' drop down font menu.

how to take a font from the Format-Font list and put it in the Pages drop down list.

There is no real need to do that. Just select the font you want and the size you want in the format font list and pages will use.

Just in case it is somewhere in your list but you can't see it, you can type the name to jump to it.

Can you confirm what macOS you are running (About this Mac under the Apple Menu).

Also whether you have looked and found Apple Chancery in Font Book and it is enabled.

Also whether you can see and use the font in any other App such as TxetEdit.

I know what I'm looking for. It was always there before the delete. They are not there now.

So Apple Chancery is NOT on the list you get when you do Format > Font > Show Fonts from the menu bar at the top of the screen, where you see Collection, Family, Typeface, Size?
