Nov 12, 2013 Google Fonts not recognized in Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac I have used the SkyFonts API for OS X (10.9) to download a number of Google Fonts to my system. These fonts work in every application EXCEPT for Microsoft Office 2011. Google Fonts Delivered Free. We are proud to have teamed up with Google to offer desktop versions of their popular Google Fonts free of charge. Offered for use in print, these fonts are delivered using SkyFont’s patent-pending font delivery technology and can be used anywhere.
Tip: To quickly install a font, you can also drag the font file to the Font Book app icon, or double-click the font file in the Finder, then click Install Font in the dialog that appears. Download additional system fonts: Click All Fonts in the sidebar on the left, then select a dimmed font family or one or more styles. Click Download in the preview pane, then click Download in the dialog that appears. If the preview pane isn’t shown, choose View Show Preview.
If you don’t see a Download button, switch to another preview type (the Download button isn’t available in the Information preview). For more about the preview pane, see. All fonts you install or download appear in Font Book, and are available to use in your apps. The fonts you install are available just to you, or to anyone who uses your computer, depending on what you set as the default location for installed fonts. For more information about setting the default location, see. When you install a font, it’s automatically validated or checked for errors. You can also validate fonts after installation if the font isn’t displayed correctly or if a document won’t open because of a corrupt font.
In the Font Book app on your Mac, select a font, then choose File Validate Font. In the Font Validation window, click the disclosure triangle next to a font to review it. A green icon indicates the font passed, a yellow icon indicates a warning, and a red icon indicates it failed. To resolve font warnings or errors, select the checkbox next to a font, then click Install Checked or Remove Checked. If a font has a duplicate, it has a yellow warning symbol next to it in the list of fonts.
In the Font Book app on your Mac, choose Edit Look for Enabled Duplicates. Click an option:. Resolve Automatically: Font Book disables or moves duplicates to the Trash, as set in Font Book preferences. Resolve Manually: Continue to the next step to review and handle duplicates yourself. Examine the duplicates and their copies, then select a copy to keep. The copy that Font Book recommends keeping is labeled “Active copy” and is selected. To review other copies, select one.
Resolve the current duplicate or, if there is more than one, all duplicates. If you want the inactive copies to go in the Trash, select “Resolve duplicates by moving duplicate font files to the Trash.” If you can’t resolve font problems, go to the.
I would like to use some google fonts with an Office 365 Word document. I have a Mac OS version of Office 365. I understand the usual method is to set an option to embed font files when you save the doc, but confirms that that isn't supported in Mac versions. I can download and install the google fonts I want to use, of course, but if I send the document to someone who hasn't done that on their machine, I would think that the fonts would have to be embedded in the document for them to show up. Am I wrong, or is there no way to reliably use google fonts in a Word document generated with a Mac version of Word?
