  • Missing Fonts in Photoshop CS4

    I opened an existing CS2 photoshop file in CS4 and I get a missing font error. The font that it can't find is on my system.
    How do I "add" this font so PS can see it?
    Thanks.

    Yeah, I hear ya. But this seems to be a big complaint with 64 bit systems. And since all fonts show up and work fine in all other programs... seems like another adobe bug to me.
    If you want to be a bit specific, Arial has 10 types. Only two show up. Regular and bold. And I'm not alone with this problem.
    This was a bug (from what I read) in office 2007. But I never used 2007. However it wasn't a problem in office 2003 nor is it with my current version of 2010. As I said, no problems whatsoever with anything except... photoshop cs4 64. (works fine in 32 bit vista)
    Now, FWIW, I haven't played much with font directories in the past, but it seems win7 is putting them into their own... kind of "folder". (could be wrong)
    That is, in arials case, for instance, they aren't spread out. As... arial normal, black, bold, etc. They seem to be all lumped in to one. Click on it and they all open for display and are all there but I don't remember them that way in older windows progs.
    But as I said, everything is fine in notepad, wordpad, excel, word, etc. etc. etc. A corrupt font is one thing, but I can't see a corrupt font working in everything but one program. And they DO work in dreamweaver.
    Ok... update. As I said, tried putting them (the arials) in the adobe font directory (which I said was empty). Nothing. Tried again and it duplicated them. Still nothing. Went in and dumped the duplicates... seems to be working.
    So, problem kinda solved. Just no clue why.
    I need a drink and a few excedrins.

  • Auto replace missing fonts durring script place

    I have a script that runs on startup that places a word document in a new indesign document. The problem is that if there are fonts in the word document that indesign can't find, then we get a message saying there are missing fonts and a series of javascript errors because there's a dialog open.
    Is there an option to have it automatically replace missing fonts with a specified font?
    InDesign CS5
    Windows

    Form my understanding you can't replace missing fonts until the document is open. To avoid the missing fonts modal dialog, you can set
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
    before opening the document and then make your font substitutions. Don't forget to reset the userInteractionLevel when your script is done!

  • How to replace missing fonts with a specific font (and not a suggested font)

    Hello all!
    Looking to replace missing fonts within my document - but the drop-down selection only gives a couple of suggestions, none of which are the font I want to use.
    How can I replace the fonts with a font of my choosing?
    I've attached an image to give more clarity - notice how the drop-down only gives the option to select between 3 fonts without an option to select your own font - many thanks!

    Same problem! The only solution I found is to prepare a textbox in a new file with all the font you need. Copy and past in the file you need to change font. Go to type/risolve missing font. Will open the same window in the pic you pasted. Then you find the font in the dropdown menu. I have to change all the Helvetica family ...it's a long go. If some one could save me. Hope to be usefull to your problem.

  • Replace missing font with font of my choice in Photoshop CS5

    I'm using Photoshop CS5. How can I replace all instances of a missing font with a font of my choice?

    I am having the same problem. From what I read around the web, there is supposed to be a dialogue box which opens to ask which font you want to use. I don't get a dalogue box, it simply replaces the missing fonts automatically with Myriad Pro without asking which font I want to use. If anyone knows how to get the dialogue box to appear, I'd appreciate the help.
    I am using CC.
    Thanks!

  • Why can't I replace missing fonts with my desktop fonts?

    I just updated to CC 2014 which implemented the new Typekit features. Now "Find Font" is "Resolve missing fonts..." which only allows missing fonts to be replaced with Typekit fonts or other fonts already found in the document.
    Am I the only one who finds this ridiculous? I have a document with the 'Avenir Next Pro' font missing, but have no way to change all instances to the "Avenir Next" font that I have installed on my computer.
    The only thing that seems to work, is to select each instance of the missing font and then change the font in the character menu. Or to change one text layer and then use "Resolve missing fonts..." to select the font that has now become an option that
    it exists in the document. Both processes work, but they're heavy handed and leave a lot of room for human error. Plus they're frickin' annoying!
    What gives, Adobe?
    - a confused and grumpy, lazy designer.

    No you're not the only one who finds this ridiculous. Font replacement in other Adobe apps works absolutely fine, so why is the Photoshop team intent on making this into a difficult useless feature?

  • Replace missing fonts with default fonts

    I used fonts in my document that were not downloaded to my computer.  I would like to replace these fonts with the default fonts that the computer automatically substituted.  Is there any way to find out what fonts were used to make these substitutions?

    I realize this is an old post, but maybe it will still help.
    Was looking for the same functionality in Photoshop as in InDesign, where upon selecting "Replace all Missing Fonts", there would be a dialog box allowing me to choose the fonts to replace to. Instead, it just arbitrarily selects "Myriad Pro", regardless.
    My solve, as clunky as it is, worked OK if your whole document uses the same font for everything. E.g. a font across multiple slides of a presentation.
    Using the newer filtering options in the Layer menu, select the "Filter for Type layers".
    Select all the type layers with the yellow triangle warning.
    Go to your Type menu and select the font you want to replace to.
    You will be prompted for each layer to confirm the change, get ready to hit "OK" a lot of times.
    Click on the "Filter for Type Layers" option again to restore your full menu list.
    Should take care of the issue.
    With that said, this is a feature request that is well overdue!

  • Don't replace missing fonts

    Usually when you don't have a font and you click on a text section it shows a message "You don't have a font blah blah do you want to replace font XX with font blah blah".
    Today I worked on two psd's and both had the "Some fonts are missing and will be automatically replaced" message when I tried to open them. I had 3-4 missing fonts but only 1 of them was replaced automatically (when I clicked on the section the name of the font was different than the original) and the even stranger thing is I had other text sections with that font that were with the original font.
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.6 (13.0.6 20131025.r.54 2013/10/25:21:00:00) x64

    I hope you have understood what my problem is and have any ideas on how to solve it or explain this strange to me behaviour.

    I am having the same problem with not displaying fonts that I have been using. I was sent to this link  Font issues in FreeHand MX which suggests that I delete the ttf as in font.ttf, but I have been unable to figure out how to do that. Any suggestions?

  • Missing fonts in InDesign CS4 - even when 'open' in Suitcase Fusion 3

    Hi all, I'm running InDesign CS4 on a Intel Mac Pro (tower), about 4 years old, running OSX Snow Leopard (all updates applied).
    Using Suitcase Fusion V3 for font management.
    I have a document that previously had no font issues at all.  Now when I open it InDesign throws up a 'Missing font' error.
    I have the correct fonts installed and 'open' in Suitcase Fusion.
    The font is available in Simpletext and Pages, but not InDesign and Illustrator.
    The troublesome font was OK the other day and has been since it was installed. 
    I've not changed anything that I'm aware of... but now InDesign won't 'see' the font.
    In the 'Find Font' dialogue box the 'Path' says it's 'Unkown or missing'.
    InDesign can see the other weights in the font family (bold, italic etc) but not regular.  And yet the entire font family is in the same folder on my hard drive.
    I've tried deleting all the' Adobe.lst' files.  No Joy.
    I've run Font Doctor on the whole font family, its says it's OK.
    I've tried re-installing the font from a back-up.  Nada.
    If anyone has any suggestions..... feel free to let rip!
    As ever, I await your expertise and unstinting knowledge in these matters   And, needless to say, I'll be mighty appreciative for it!

    Hi Bob, strangely... I've put the troublesome font, Dax (T1) Regular, in the Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Fonts folder and it seems to be working.
    Never had to do that before.
    Would be great to get back to 'normal'.  If possible.
    Although I have many duplicates spread across back-up drives and collected artwork folders, I've also tried to eliminate any duplicate 'open' versions.  But the above solution is the only one that works at the moment.
    RP
    p.s. I also tried removing any AdobeFNT**.lst files, (where ** is a number) before the above work around.  That didn't work either.

  • Missing Fonts in Illustrator CS4

    I have been having an issue with the "missing font"
    My problem is that Illustrator recognizes the fonts sometimes and not other times.  I have had no problems for the past week or so and I just restarted my computer and now a number of fonts that worked fine suddenly are replaced with the "missing font" default.
    The fonts I'm currently concerned with are all in the default LaTeX family (i.e. cmr10, cmmi10, cmbx10, etc...) I have all of them installed on my computer and they work fine in every other application. 
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on or how I can solve this problem?  Why does illustrator "lose" them and how do I get them back? !!
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the link.  I'm actually using Windows 7 and in the mean time my illustrator "found" the fonts again (still can't figure out why).  I don't know how well the solutions for the Mac OS will work but I'll take a look.  If anyone else comes up with an answer I'd love to hear it!
    Thanks!

    Would I need a premium subscription to Creative Cloud to access all the fonts in Typekit?
    Nope!

    I can't seem to find Rotis San Serif font anywhere.
    Nor can I - in Typekit, anyways.
    You certainly can buy it, though:

  • Do the fonts in Photoshop CS4 have any restrictions for commercial use?

    I am a  designer and I wanted to know if there were any restrictions in the Photoshop CS4 Extended version concerning font usage?  I have read all the terms but I got confused after awhile.  I wanted to make sure there are no restricted usage if I use any of the fonts incorporated into my designs which are then resold?  Thank you in advance!

    Thank you for your response.  Just to be clear: essentially I can use the fonts in my designs  for say cell phone skins and music album covers but cannot not ( of course) resell the original fonts correct?  Thanks again for your help!  I have tried calling and been on hold forever, then tried emailing support and they said I had to call because it is a  technical issue.  Lawyer speak in the terms confuses me easily:)

  • Frame9: Find/replace missing fonts?

    Search function doesn't seem to work, so I hope you'll bear with me.
    When I open a frame book/documents, I get a message in the FrameMaker Console: "The "<foo>" Font is not available. "<bar>" will be used in this session.
    Question: In InDesign, there's a font find/substitute feature (I don't recall the proper wording offhand). Is there something similar in Frame 9? (I've looked but can't find one.)

    Even though our production environment is FM7.1/Unix, presumably opening in FM9/Win, cleaning up fonts, and re-saving as MIF would allow subsequent opening in FM7.1 (or would it ... I can conceive of Unicode font encoding issues arising).
    If you ever need a workflow that crosses the Unicode barrier (between FrameMaker versions 7.2 and 8) you have to test everything, since the additional power of Unicode encoding may introduce stuff, that will get lost in previous versions.
    Of course, for those without FM9 or 10, the classical way to handle Missing Fonts was to save as MIF, and use a text editor to perform global search&replace on the phantoms. There are just too many places for fonts to hide to chase them down from within pre-9 Frame.
    IMO, the even simpler and almost always good enough method was to just switch off the »Save Unknown Font Names« in File > Preferences before opening and saving such files. This replaces those font references with the default font (which in turn can be set in the maker.ini, if you really need something special).
    With three actions File > Open/Save/Close All Files in Book (press the Shift key before clicking the menu) even complete books are cleaned-up quite easily.

  • CS3 is replacing missing fonts with Myriad

    I am opening a file that uses some fonts that are missing. OK, and I get the warning message to that effect. Normally CS3 shows the alert badge on the layer and if the layer is selected & type tool active, it will show you the missing font name in brackets. BUT now when the file opens, there are no alert badges and the fonts are all changed to Myriad!
    I tried deleting my prefs but that didn't help.

    We received similar issue before http://forums.adobe.com/message/3024227#3024227
    Do you have Font Agent Pro? If you do, please remove Font Agent Pro plug-in from Photoshop Plug-ins folder and try.
    Hope this helps.

  • Finding and replacing Missing Fonts

    Dear All,
    I need to find the missing fonts in the InDesing document and replace them into correct fonts using JavaScript.
    Pl. help.
    Thanks,
    ArcRaj

    Ole,
    For a moment you had me rejoicing (I hadn't tried this in 5.0.3 yet). But my joy was short-lived, as I still can't get it to work. For instance,
    app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont =
    app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold');
    still tells me that "The requested font is not available." That font is not installed on my system but is used in the active document.
    Absent fonts seem to confuse ESTK. Getting some properties of this non-installed font leads to different results:
    -- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').index
    gives -1. Don't know what that means, but there's a result and no error.
    -- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').fontFamily
    gives Swiss 721 BT. Result as expected. (It's not the case that to return this property ESTK doesn't bother to check whether the font exists: ...('Olav Kvern\tBold').fontFamily produces an error.)
    -- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').location
    doesn't do much apart from repeating the property name. No error, nothing in the console; just "location" in the staus bar at the bottom of ESTK's app window.
    Am I missing something?
