When attempting to open some MS Word Docs I'm asked to download - STHeiti and other fonts
When opening one of my documents in Word 2011 on MacOS 10.12.3, I'm asked to download a series of fonts including: STHeiti and Osaka.
I assume this means the document was opened on a computer with those fonts installed and now the file is convinced they need to exist.
I've tried accepting the downloads but the problem just returns the next time I reboot my mac.
So where should these fonts be installed and where is Office installing them?
The solution was hinted at in the comments.
- Open FontBook:
LaunchFont Book.app
(located in theApplications
folder). - Find the fonts in question:
Select "All fonts" in the sidebar and search for them using the search box in the upper-right corner of the window. Once found, each will be greyed out. - Download the font:
Either press the "Download" button in upper-right corner of the preview pane or right-click the font to display the context menu and select "Download". - Smile now that MS Office doesn't ask you skip/download whenever you open that doc again.
