Macs are not perfect even though one’s productivity is much higher with one. When things go wrong – they can sometimes really go wrong.
One customer had issues with a critical branding font that installs fine on everyone else’s Macbook but not theirs. I now know more about fonts that I ever wanted to know especially how Microsoft fonts fit into the Mac picture. I researched dozens of websites each adding a piece to the puzzle. Here we go …
- There are 4 font stores on your Mac
- user fonts stored in /Users/youraccount/Library/Fonts
- computer wide (all accounts) fonts in /Library/Fonts
- system fonts in /System/Library/Fonts (never ever touch these)
- Microsoft Office fonts in /Library/Fonts/Microsoft (ahhh I see)
- ONLY TTF fonts work for Office – or so MS claims
- To install fonts for MS Office 2011 – don’t double click them – this installs them naturally in the user fonts
- instead – start up Font Book (use the spotlight or magnifying glass to find it quick in the upper right of your Mac)
- drag them from your Finder onto Computer (under the Collection section at the left of the Font Book app)
- A reboot triggers the Mac Font store to sync with Office. Don’t forget to reboot before ripping your hair out
- Adding fonts to the user fonts will never show up in Microsoft Office products
- Don’t assume that because a font works in lets say Word, that it will appear in Excel – it might once the cache catches up
- Microsoft font cache file can be delete so it will force a refresh – but it can be in 2 places – check both. Microsoft moved it for Office 2011 for Mac for some computers different than others
- Lion? goto finder and hold the option key and …
- click the menu Go->Library or type in a folder /Library by choosing the Go->Go to Folder option then navigate eventually to /Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011
- not there? Microsoft moved them in later releases of Office 2011 to /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Preferences/Office 2011 – even MS’ articles are incorrect!
- also you might need to look in /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Preferences/Office 2011
- when you re-start work or Excel you will now see a task completing to rebuild the cache files and if you observe the location above you will see new cache files
- Here is a link to completely remove Office on a mac and is the final puzzle piece that allowed me to solve this riddle http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768

After reinstalling and updating my computer via Windows Update, I noticed I’m still running Outlook without any updates.
How can I get updates for Office as well?
- Try this: Make sure your PC is connected to the Internet. If Update Options is missing under Product Information, and the About button is the only option available, you either have a volume license or your company is using Group Policy to manage Office updates. Try Microsoft Update to get the latest updates or contact your company help desk.
- Solved: Fonts on a Mac for Microsoft office – why are they not updating? Where are they? Posted on February 14. Fonts on a Mac for Microsoft office – why are they not updating? Where are they? Marc Potter on March 11, 2017 at 9:57 pm said.
Apr 11, 2017 On Tuesday, April 11, 2017, Microsoft released the following security and nonsecurity updates. These monthly updates are intended to help our customers keep their computers up-to-date. We recommend that you install all updates that apply to you.
By default Windows Update only updates Windows itself. In order to get updates for Office and other Microsoft products as well, you’ll have to “update” your Windows Update to Microsoft Update.
When you are using an Office 365 installation or a Click-to-Run installation of Office 2013, Office 2016 or Office 2019, then the updates will not be offered via Windows Update but will be installed automatically. Depending on your installation source, you can manually check for updates from within any Office application or the Microsoft Store on Windows 10.
