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.
Download Calibri Font For Windows
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!
The installation of Office for Mac 2011 will install the Calibri font into OS X system font locations. Office 2016 for Mac keeps its fonts resident within the individual application bundles. Pages expects fonts contained in Word documents to be present on the Mac, and produces that warning box about missing Calibri font as a result. Calibri is a sans-serif typeface household developed by Luc(as) de Groot in 2002-2004 and introduced on the general general public in 2007, with Microsoft Office 2007 and Windows Vista. In Workplace 2007, it replaced Occasions New Roman since the default typeface in Term and replaced Arial as the default in PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and WordPad.
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!

Install fonts
Double-click the font in the Finder, then click Install Font in the font preview window that opens. After your Mac validates the font and opens the Font Book app, the font is installed and available for use.
You can use Font Book preferences to set the default install location, which determines whether the fonts you add are available to other user accounts on your Mac.
Fonts that appear dimmed in Font Book are either disabled ('Off'), or are additional fonts available for download from Apple. To download the font, select it and choose Edit > Download.
