Numbers.app force me to download Chinese fonts but the download always fails Whenever I open the Numbers app the pop up always shows up, requiring me to download Chinese fonts. 



The dialog reads "Numbers.app needs to download the font. The size is 50MB.". However, when I click the download button, the download always fails, the progress bar showing up yet immediately disappearing.

The pop up dialog shows 8 times whenever I open the app, as it seems that there are 8 different fonts necessary for the download. The only solution so far is clicking the "Skip" button on the pop up for all the pop ups, which is very tedious.

I restarted my Mac and also deleted and re-installed the Numbers app but it did not pan out. 

Is there any way to prevent the dialog from opening whenever I use the app?
I found out that the problem comes from the failure of download on Fontbook.app. Following this question and answer, I finally downloaded the font successfully and the popups no longer show up in opening the app.



Solution

Go to System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/Subsets/ and download it directly.
