How to Install Fonts on Apple Pages

Your choice of typeface and Font is essential for your brand or company if you want to generate favorable feelings while also providing easy reading to your customers. In addition to your intended readers, the business sector in which you operate should play a role in determining the typeface you use. You’ll be happy to know that Apple Pages comes pre-loaded with a good number of fonts, and you can always download and install additional fonts from Apple or other vendors.

• Step 1: Open the Font Book App

  
  To install a font, first, add a font to the Font Book app by locating the Font you want to use. Then, click the Add button in the Font Book toolbar, and then click the Open button.

• Step 2: Transfer Font File to Font Book

  
  Simply drop the font file onto the icon for the Font Book program in the Dock.

• Step 3: Install the Font

  
  In the Finder, open the font file by double-clicking, and then in the window that appears, click the Install Font button.

• Step 4: Validate Fonts

  If a font isn’t shown properly or a document won’t open because of a corrupt font, validate the Font to detect errors, and then delete the Font from your computer. Choose a font from the library that is accessible through the Font Book application on your Mac, and then select File > Validate Font. If the Font has been given a green icon, it has been given a pass; if it has a yellow icon, it has been given a warning; and if it has a red icon, it has failed.
