I. Newly installed fonts not showing up on Word for Mac
On various forums, users are grappling with the challenge of installing new fonts, only to find them invisible on Word for Mac.
This glitch could stem from Microsoft Office on Macbook not directly supporting third-party fonts or, perhaps, the fonts you installed are corrupted.
Method 1: Clearing Font Cache
To fix the issue of newly installed fonts not displaying in Word for Mac, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Start by clearing the font cache. To do this, exit all Microsoft Office applications. On the Home menu, click Go => Applications =>Apple's Font Book.
Step 2: On the Edit menu, find and click Select Duplicated Fonts.
Step 3: Still on the Edit menu, find and click Resolve Duplicates.
Step 4: To remove all fonts disabled by Font Book from your computer, follow the steps below:
- After removing duplicate fonts, select each disabled font and click File => Reveal in Finder, then drag and drop the font into the trash.
- In some cases, Font Book may disable duplicate fonts. In this situation, you can drag and drop the old font into the trash and activate the new font.
Step 5: Restart your computer; macOS will automatically recreate the font cache. Word will utilize this cache to regenerate the software's font cache.
Note: Perform these steps after each update of the latest macOS version, as Microsoft's installer may disable these fonts.
