Note there’s a space in the \setmathfont{Cambria Math} declaration, in case
that’s relevant.

Hm, here’s everything I’ve got on my Kali Linux installation:
╭─cmenzel@kali-linux-2022-2 ~
╰─$ locate cambria
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/vista/cambria.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/vista/cambriab.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/vista/cambriai.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/vista/cambriamath.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/vista/cambriaz.ttf
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/cambria-math.lfg
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/cambria.lfg
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-cambria.mkiv
In case you didn’t use the instructions I followed, give →THESE
<https://kodejava.org/how-do-i-install-calibri-font-in-ubuntu/>← a try.
