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.

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.

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!

Office 2008/2011 for Mac shoved their fonts into System/Fonts. Office 2016 for Mac bundled the fonts within its respective application bundles. I don't have Office 2016 for Mac, but have long wondered if one could arbitrarily soft link the internal font folder to a folder in ~/Library/Fonts and have the MS Fonts recognized without copying them elsewhere into System font locations.

If you place fonts into the ~/Library/Fonts folder, this is part of the default System font search path, and Font Book will detect them there. However, adding fonts to Font Book does not in my experience, then place the fonts into the ~/Library/Fonts folder. I can drop fonts into ~/Library/Fonts folder, and they are immediately available to applications without running Font Book, or rebooting the Mac.
