All three of the fonts appear in Font Book, and in Pages - but only one of them appears on the font list in Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
This is an extremely common issue with Font Book. Apple should trash this font manager and start over with it. Whenever Font Book's database gets damaged, and that happens with incredible ease, you see things like this. Fonts won't appear that you've activated, will in some apps but not others, you can't add fonts to Font Book or turn others off, etc.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode. In Leopard or earlier, any font sets you have created will be gone. Also, all fonts in the three main Fonts folders (System, Library, your user account) will now be active, regardless of their state beforehand. In Snow Leopard, your sets will remain intact. Don't start Font Book yet.
You also want to clear out all other remaining font cache files.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for you to enter your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly. Press Enter.
This removes all system and user font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
Now you need to clear the font cache files for Office. Close all Office applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
For Office 2008, the location of the second item is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Office Font Cache (12)

If you are connected to Google Fit or Apple Health and wear your TomTom Sports device at the same time, your activity data will not get duplicated. How to import 24/7 data.
For Office 2011, the location is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011/Office Font Cache
That takes care of everything except for launching Font Book so it can build a new database.
Why Are My Downloaded Fonts Not Showing Up In Powerpoint
-->Symptoms
After you install a font into the Fonts folder in the operating system and start Microsoft Word for Mac, the font unexpectedly is not available in the Font dialog box, in the drop-down list, or in the Formatting Palette.
Cause
Third-party fonts are not directly supported in Microsoft Office for Mac applications. Some third-party fonts may work in one application and not in another. Other third-party fonts are installed in a ”family”. A family usually consists of the third-party font itself together with some or all of its variations (bold, italic, and so forth). Sometimes, a font may be displayed in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft Entourage, but you may be unable to use one of its variations, such as italic.
Office does not support custom fonts. This includes any fonts that were manipulated by a font or typography program.
Note
Microsoft Office for Mac technical support does not provide support for installing or configuring third-party fonts.
Basic font troubleshooting
If the following methods don't resolve your font issue, contact the font manufacturer or the website from which you purchased the fonts.
First, restart your computer, and then test the font again. Some installations are not complete until the computer is restarted. This also makes sure that all applications are restarted after the installation.
Method 1
- Clear the font caches. To do this, quit all Microsoft Office applications. On the Home menu, click **Go **> Applications, and then click Apple’s Font Book.
- On the Edit menu, click Select Duplicated Fonts.
- On the Edit menu, click Resolve Duplicates.
- To remove all the fonts from the computer that Font Book just disabled, follow these steps:
- After the duplicates have been resolved, select each disabled font, click File > Reveal in Finder, and then drag it to the trash.
- You may notice that Font Book sometimes turns off the newer copy of the font instead of the older one. If you prefer the newer copy, drag the older one to the trash, and then re-enable the new one.
- Restart the computer. Apple OS X will rebuild its font cache, and Word will rebuild its font cache from that.
- For best performance in Word, try to run with all your fonts enabled all the time. Each time that Word starts, it compares its font cache with the system font cache. If the two don't match, Word will regenerate its own font cache, which can take a few seconds. If you have dynamically enabled fonts, the system font cache will appear different nearly every time that Word runs this comparison.
- You must do this every time you install an update, because the Microsoft installer tries to restore the disabled fonts each time.
Method 2
Restart the computer in Safe mode. Then, restart the computer normally. For more information about how to restart your computer in Safe mode, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
2398596 How to use a 'clean startup' to determine whether background programs are interfering with Office for Mac
Method 3
Create a new user account to determine whether the problem is associated with an existing user account.
The font is damaged, or the system is not reading the font
If the font is not a custom font and does not appear in your Office program, the font may be damaged. To reinstall the font, see Mac OS X: Font locations and their purposes.

No doubt about it, fonts can add significant visual appeal to a presentation. As long as they make it onto the screen for your audience to see, that is. If you created your presentation on one computer, but deliver it from another (say, in a conference room), you could be stuck without the very fonts you were counting on, causing some possibly acute pre-show panic. But not to worry. Font embedding in PowerPoint could be the answer to this stealthy little issue. We’ll show you how to do it, and also show you an easy way to remove and replace fonts while we’re at it.
Font Embedding
These steps guarantee you will have the fonts you want when you move your file to any other PC, and you won’t need to load custom fonts onto the presentation machine when you arrive at your speaking destination.
Note that font embedding will increase your file’s size. To keep the file size a bit smaller, you can embed only the characters that are used in your presentation (rather than a full font set); or, you can embed all font characters, which can result in a much larger file. Unless you are sure you or others won’t make any changes to the file, we recommend embedding all characters.
To embed fonts in your PowerPoint 2010 or 2007 presentation:
1. Install on your computer any custom fonts that you want to use. You can’t embed fonts into your presentation unless the fonts have already been installed.
2. Openthe PowerPoint presentation.
3. Do one of the following:
- In PowerPoint 2010, click the File tab, and then click Options in the left pane.
- In PowerPoint 2007, click the Office button in the upper left corner, and then click PowerPoint Options.
4. In the PowerPoint Options dialog box, in the left pane, click Save.
5. Under Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation, select the Embed fonts in the file check box.
6. We recommend also selecting the second option, Embed all characters (best for editing by other people).
7. Click OK.
To turn off embedding, follow the same steps above, but deselect the Embed fonts in the file check box in step 5.
Replacing Fonts
PowerPoint also enables you to remove and replace fonts in your presentation. For instance, let’s say you want to remove all the Segoe fonts from a presentation and replace them with Calbri. You might want to do this to simplify the look of your presentation by reducing the number of fonts, or to reduce the number of fonts and keep your presentation size smaller after you turn on font embedding, or to remove all custom fonts like Segoe so that your presentation only uses standard Windows or Office fonts. Whatever the reason, font replacement is easy to do. Keep in mind, however, that replacing fonts often changes text wrapping, so you should allow time check each slide in your presentation after you finish.
To replace fonts in your PowerPoint 2010 or 2007 presentation:
1. Openthe PowerPoint presentation.
2. On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click the arrow next to Replace, and then click Replace Fonts.
3. In the Replace Font dialog box, in the Replace list, click the font that you want to remove from the presentation.
4. In the With list, click the font that you want to replace the font you selected in the Replace list, and then click Replace.
Repeat these stepsas many times as you want, until you remove all the fonts that you don’t want used in your presentation.

Note:
Typekit is now Adobe Fonts
We used to sync fonts to a computer to use them in desktop software programs; now we activate them.
The fonts are still added through your Creative Cloud desktop application–which is explained in this tutorial–and include the same font licensing for personal and commercial projects. Learn more about Adobe Fonts.
When you activate fonts from Adobe Fonts, they will appear in the font menus of all your desktop applications, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Microsoft Office, and iWork. Use these fonts for print design, website mockups, word processing, and more.
Fonts are activated on your computer through the Creative Cloud desktop application. If you do not have the software installed, download it from https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
Start by browsing the library of fonts. You can toggle between the default & Japanese font collections from the mode selector at the top of the page.
Beautiful Fonts For Powerpoint
Add filters to refine the list of fonts. You can filter by classification (such as serif or sans serif), properties (x-height, width, weight), or language.
The collection of Japanese fonts has different filtering options, so you can browse for kana-only fonts or by style classifications like Mincho, Gothic, Maru Gothic, and Brush.
When you find a font you like, click the 'Activate fonts' button to add the whole family to your computer. You can also click on the font family name to open the family page, and select individual font weights or styles to use.
Active fonts will be listed in the Fonts tab of the Creative Cloud desktop application on your computer.
If your fonts don't show up in the Creative Cloud desktop application within a minute or two, check the troubleshooting guide.
Once the fonts are active, they are added to the font menu in each application, alongside all of your installed fonts. They will be immediately available in most programs, but a few need to be restarted to add new fonts to the menu (for example, Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Office).
In addition to being listed in the Creative Cloud desktop application, your active fonts are listed on the website under the Active Fonts tab on My Adobe Fonts. Read more about managing your fonts.
You can activate as many fonts as you'd like, although we recommend removing fonts you no longer use, to keep your font menu short and optimize performance. You can always activate them again if you need them.
