Farsi fonts in Pages

I have to do a lot of proofreading of articles that come out of Iran and also China. I know that I can use 'International' in the preferences to input different fonts, but how do I get to read them in a document that is predominantly in English.
In the case of the Chinese font, I have searched the internet to find it, but the only link I have found is for Windows.
I also have to use Word for the final document, but, even Word for Mac, does not have these fonts.
So, my question: How do I get to read these fonts in a predominantly English document?
Any help would be really appreciated.

If I understand correctly, the original documents are in Word format? Provided they come from a late version of Word, it should be possible to open at least the Chinese ones in Pages. If Pages does not find the original font, it usually finds another font which contains the character.
However, that is the theory, and I know reality is not always the same.
You can also try to open the documents in TextEdit and NeoOffice or OpenOffice.
Farsi being written right to left has problems in both Pages and Word 2004 for Mac. It may work in TextEdit or NeoOffice or OpenOffice.
It has been claimed that the best Mac application for right-to-left scripts is Mellel. You may want to have a look at that one too.

Is there a way to download additional fonts into Pages? If so, where can I find them?

I was wondering if there was a way to add new fonts to Pages. I recently purchased a new iMac that came standard with Pages. I'm resisting the urge to install Microsoft Word as I prefer Pages in many ways. However, I'm frustrated that I can't use/find any unique fonts to add to Pages like I can do with Microsoft Word. I create documents that I sell online and would love to be able to only use Pages for this purpose. Instead I find myself having to reformat documents in Word just to get the font I want.

Hi stephanie,
Go to the App Store and type Fonts into the Search bar. You will see a large array of fonts you can download. Many of them are free. I downloaded the MacFonts Holiday fonts last year, and they show up anywhere I have a font dropdown.
With any of the MacFonts, you just download it, then follow the instructions for moving them into your FontBook app.
Cheers,

How can I add a new font to pages?

I want to add a new font to page. How do I do that?

Download new fonts from the Internet (e.g. 1001fonts.com), and then open the file once downloaded. This will launch the application FontBook. It will ask "Install the font?" Click "OK", and you will be able to use the new font in Pages, TextEdit or other word processors. (You may have to re-start the application for it to recognize it.)
Bonus info: pressing command–t in many applications opens you computer's font control panel.

How do I recover a "lost" font in Pages? The font file appears to exist in my MS Office area.

How do I recover a lost font in pages? The font management process seems very opaque, lots of areas on the hard drive with font folders. None seems to match the list of fonts I can pull down from the font menu in Pages. At the moment, the font I need is Century Gothic, which does reside in the MS Office area, but nowhere else that I can find. Would greatly appreciate help!
thanks much, Eilert

Thanks for the idea, fruhulda. I just checked (Jul 18) and the "missing" font is there. However, yesterday I tried a full restart of my computer, and it seemed to fix (?) the problem, so I still am not sure what happened. At any rate, the problem is now gone.

How do you add fonts in pages?

How do you add fonts and clip art in pages? I seem to have few fonts in pages. New to Mac. Thanks! Also seems that there is no clipart in pages? If there is, where can I find it?

On the Mac you add fonts to the System by double clicking on them, they then get opened in Font Book where you can open/close and organise them.
Most ClipArt offered with other applications is rubbish. Apple has left it to you to source your own, better material. This may help:

Why am I unable to use some fonts in Pages '09 since upgrading to Pages 5?

I upgraded to the new Pages and regretted it immediately because it doesn't have a lot of features I am used to and which I need. (The marketing blurb only mentioned what it could do, and omitted to mention how many functions had been removed, otherwise I wouldn't have upgraded.) As a result I decided I wouldn't use Pages 5 until it (hopefully) catches up with the functionality of the older version.
However, the upgrade appears to have done something to corrupt some of my fonts in Pages '09. This means that files I created in Pages '09 cannot now be printed because I get 'gobbledegook' instead of the font I chose (Academy Engraved for one).
I can set a new document in Pages 5 in Academy Engraved but if I then export it into Pages '09 it reverts to gobbledegook. I cannot simply replicate my old Pages '09 files in Pages 5 because the functionality I need isn't there. So I have a lot of files in Pages '09 that I can't print, and I am very frustrated.
I have validated the Academy Engraved font in Font Book and it was fine. Can anyone suggest anything else I can try please?
Many thanks.

Thank you for that, but I'm afraid I muddied the waters by mentioning that alert. I am aware of Gatekeeper, but the point was it was a Pages document not an app so I shouldn't have got that message at all. If anything, I should have got the "You need a newer version of Pages" message. However, I'll live with that one for the time being.
It's the font problem that I'm really concerned with. If I open a new document in Pages '09 I can no longer use Academy Engraved font, it just looks like gobbledegook. Neither can I read Academy Engraved font in any of my old Pages '09 documents. However, Academy Engraved font works fine in Pages 5. So by upgrading needlessly to Pages 5 I can no longer use Academy Engraved in Pages '09. That's my main problem.

Problem with Interstate font in Pages

When I use Interstate as a font in Pages, a " shows where a hard return is given (1st visual). This does not happen when using other fonts (2nd visual).
How do I get rid of the " when using Interstate?
Kind regards,
Elfromamsterdam
IOS 10.9.5
Pages 5.2.2

Sorry I misread your post and have just been checking out the Interstate font.
Where did you get it and what version do you have?
I got a free Tobias-Freer Jones version from µfont, and checked that it has both the inch and foot marks and the "curly" quotes, which it does.
This then comes down to what you have in the Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Text > Auto-substitution

Fonts for Pages - Cyrillic

Hello, were I can get the different Cyrillic Fonts for Pages?

Razamanaz
You don't need any specific Cyrillic fonts for Pages, virtually all OSX fonts have Cyrillic.
Just set your keyboard to whatever Cyrillic language you are using:
+System Preferences > Personal > International > Russian should already be in the list > Move it to the top of the list+
If you need any other keyboards:
+International > Languages > Edit List… > check the languages you want+
For more quality Cyrillic fonts, any of the major font publishers' Open Type (otf) collections will do, with Parachute Fonts particularly specialising in Cyrillic with suberb designs.

Is there a way to permanently set a font in pages?

The default font in pages is Helvetica. Every time I start a new document, I have to change it to Times New Roman. Is there a way to permanently set the font as Times New Roman so that I do not have to do it every time. Thanks.

You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font. You can set default wrap for any object as well as many other settings. Insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them.
Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

How to add missing garamond font in pages on ipad2

Hi,
Just wonder if anyone might be able to help me out. I have recently downloaded pages on my iPad2 running on IOS5 because I'd like to be able to use it to work with word documents. I noticed that in pages, there is no garamond fonts from the font drop-down list. Is there any way I can insert the garamond font into pages?
The other things I have noticed from working word documents in pages is when it comes to bullet points in the content, it actually adds more space between lines of text. Because I was playing to see if I can open and edit word docs from pages and send them back to my PC which has got microsoft word 2010. When I compared them, there were a slightly different in the document (before and after). Apart from the bullet points issue, I do not see anything else that may cause discrepancies.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

You can't add fonts to the iPad. Sorry.

Why can't I enlarge fonts on pages by using my track pad?

Why can't I enlarge fonts on pages by using my track pad? Please Help!!!!

Hi,
I have been trying out the Command+ option and its not the same. Using the track pad to enlarge images and text was by far better and more precise than using the command+ option.....

Is there anyway to find a new font on Pages for iPad? The letters are hard like a rock when you use foreign languages like Thai. The fonts on device do not support foreign language.

These are user to user help forums. To tell Apple you want more fonts for Thai, go here:

But I suspect this is likely one of those things for which you will always have to use a full computer rather than a iPad.

Default font for Pages

In Pages for iPad, It´s posible to change default font type in blank tempate?

I am only posting this in hopes that some developer at Apple will see it. I really think that there should be a way to change the default font in Pages on any iPad. I don't like the fact that the default has to be Helvetica. Sure I can change it and set up documents I don't need. The simple fact is that this should be a part of any processor. Again, I just hope someone at Apple reads this and makes the argument. This should be a simple thing to do that would make many customers happy (I guess I can only speak for me). Surely, if they can figure out how to put in 3D graphics for charts, a default font selected by the customer is not an impossibility. Change this please!!!
