Hi, to install Microsoft Word fonts for Mac, you need to download fonts from any website. I suggest you download fonts from website www.dafont.com. Once the download is completed double click on the file that has ‘.ttf’. On the Mac you use the Font Book to add the font and then copy it to the Windows Office Compatible folder. Many third parties outside of Microsoft package their fonts in.zip files to reduce file size and to make downloading faster. If you have downloaded a font that is saved in.zip format double-click the zip file to open. Find out the most efficient way to install fonts on a Mac so they're available to all users.

Install fonts

Install Microsoft Word On Mac

You can install fonts from a location on your Mac (or a network you’re connected to), or download additional system fonts right in the Font Book window. Fonts that you can download are dimmed in the font list.

In the Font Book app on your Mac, do any of the following:

• Install fonts from your Mac or network: Click the Add button in the Font Book toolbar, locate and select the font, then click Open.

  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. If you don’t see a Download button, switch to another preview type (the Download button isn’t available in the Information preview). For more about the preview pane, see View and print fonts.

The fonts you install are available just to you, or to anyone who uses your computer, depending on what you set as the default location for installed fonts. For more information about setting the default location, see Change Font Book preferences.

Validate fonts

When you install a font, it’s automatically validated or checked for errors. You can also validate fonts after installation if the font isn’t displayed correctly or if a document won’t open because of a corrupt font.

1. In the Font Book app on your Mac, select a font, then choose File > Validate Font.

2. In the Font Validation window, click the disclosure triangle next to a font to review it.

   A green icon indicates the font passed, a yellow icon indicates a warning, and a red icon indicates it failed.

3. To resolve font warnings or errors, select the checkbox next to a font, then click Install Checked or Remove Checked.

How To Download Fonts For Microsoft Word Mac 2016

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
