Font type and size

I use Noto under Office 2010 for Windows

22

Installing Noto Sans for Mac 10.13.6 High Sierra:

  • go to Google Fonts
  • download for instance [Noto Sans 72 styles 582 languages 237 regions]
  • unzip the file, remember the location
  • open Launchpad and open “Fontcatalogue” (free translated from the Dutch word “Lettertypecatalogus”) in Other, where you can also find Terminal, Chess and Time Machine and so on.
  • In “Fontcatalogue” click once on [Windows Office Compatibel]
  • Go to “Add font” in “Archive”, that is part of the menu so you find it on the first line of your screen.
  • Click once on the folder name where you unzipped your downloaded Noto-fonts.
  • Click on [Open]
    The fonts included in the folder will now be installed in the OS.
    It worked for me, hopefully also for you.

Installation manual for Windows will be made tomorrow.

Thanks, @ries. In English, the application is named Font Book.

We may have regional differences in the application. Where are you finding [Windows Office Compatible]? I am not able to find any such option/button/etc. The Noto font shows as being installed in the Font Book list. And I can do everything with it I can do with other fonts, including manipulating it in Font Book and selecting it in all applications except Office.

You have a newer version of Word and Excel. Maybe that is the difference.

Be aware that in the last link the user writes that apparantly the solution was to close all applications and do a reboot on the Mac… (Seems a typical Windows solution to me :wink: ).

If you have Office 2011 for the Mac, you may be out of luck.

  • open the unzipped file
  • now you will see a lot of Noto fonts, choose the one you like, for instance Noto Sans Regular
  • right-click!!! on the file
  • an option-menu will open and one of the options is [install]
  • after installation is completed the font can immediately be used, even if a program like Excel was open.

  • Office 2013
  • Office 2016
  • Office 2019
