If you open Microsoft formatted documents on your Mac like I do then you have probably run across the annoying message saying the Calibri or Cambria font is missing.
Oct 24, 2011 Disclaimer: We are checking periodically that all the fonts which can be downloaded from FontPalace.com are either shareware, freeware or come under an open source license. All the fonts on this website are their authors' property, If no designer or license is mentioned that's because we don't have information, that doesn't mean it's free. Although Helvetica is a paid font owned by Linotype, it’s available for free on every Apple Computer and that is why it’s made it to the list. Sadly, you can still spot some Mac-users using Calibri.
For years I have ignored this as an annoyance, but today I decided to do something about it. Turns out there is a very easy fix!
Richard Taylor of RMTWeb became fed up like me and put together a package of fonts to restore Calibri and Cambria fonts on the Mac.
Getting the fonts running is trivial:
Download Richard’s font package from http://www.rmtweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Calibri-and-Cambria-Fonts.zip
Open the zip
(Here is where I differ from his notes)
Open the Font Book app
Select all the fonts from the download and drag them to Font Book
Click the select all checkbox and the install button
Celebrate!
That’s it.
Really.
You will no longer get that annoying message about missing fonts!
Thanks to Richard for providing this resource! His original instructions can be found at https://www.rmtweb.co.uk/calibri-and-cambria-fonts-for-mac
Bonus: Segoe UI Font
After posting the original fonts I ran across an issue with Segoe UI fonts missing. Microsoft provides a download for them at Segoe UI and Fabric MDL2 external icon font. The install instructions are the same as above!
