Fonts are not appearing on Keynote

Hi, can someone help me please? Lately i have had troubles using any kind of external FONTS on keynote, no matter if they are demos or if i have a paid license. I can install them on my computer and they work just fine in other programs but not on keynote. (.otf nor .ttf). They just dont appear on the list of fonts in keynote.

Only those that are download through Adobe fonts can be used, but is very useless because sometimes i need to share some .KEY files so other people can edit too and not everyone have adobe accounts to download and use them. So, please, please. Tell me, what can i do? (i already tried by updating my MAC (i use Ventura 13.2.1))

Just to clarify on this - you can use Font Book to install the font as usual, you do not need to manually copy the font, and it doesn't matter whether you install it for a single user, or for the entire system.


But the key is that newly-added fonts won't be available in Keynote (or Pages) until you restart your Mac!

1 - To use secondary fonts in Keynote, Copy the font to: System Hard Drive > Library > Fonts then restart the Mac

2 - The Keynote file does not contain any font files, if you send a Keynote to someone else that uses fonts out with the standard installed Mac OS fonts, each recipient will need to install these fonts to be able to display them in your presentation.


The workaround for sending Keynote with non standard fonts to recipients, is to make a screen shot of the text on the slide and replace the original text with the screen shot image.
