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.

I think it is some type of compatibility issue with the font and Mac and Windows. I was wondering if anyone knew of any type of work around for this? Any help would be appreciated. Hello, You are correct that this problem can be caused by compatibility issues. To help us identify the cause of this issue, we suggest that you start and check if the fonts will show up. Safe mode starts Word with a few features disabled and may help us identify the cause of this issue. It is also possible that this issue is caused by the printer driver being used by Office.

Word and PowerPoint routinely check the printer driver to see what it can do and then modifies what it displays based on what it discovers. The technical term for this behavior is device context. This may be the reason why Office is not showing all installed fonts. We recommend that you make sure that Office isn't using a generic text driver and that a printer driver is installed (even if there is no printer physically connected to your computer).
