Document Fonts folder missing

Hi. When I package a document the Links Folder is there, but the Document Fonts folder is not. In the Package>> Font summary, ID says 15 fonts used, none missing or modified, but it doesn't list anything. I need to work on the document on another computer that doesn't have these fonts installed. Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm still navigating my way in OSX, so i used Fontbook to install them. Admittedly, they are from a Linotype suite that originally I used on PC which only offers True Type or Post Script. The Post Script seems to install but doesn't show up.

  • Document fonts folder missing within InDesign package?

    Help - when I attempt to preflight my document, the document fonts folder is missing entirely.  This is quite strange as it seems to just happen out of nowhere.  I have packaged documents each day up until today with out any issues.  So essentially the final package will contain the indd file, txt file, and links folder.  The document fonts folder is missing.... Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

    Preflight and package are different operations entirely.
    Assuming that you mean "package" (that's what would create the links and fonts folders), there's a checkbox in the window where you choose where you want your package to be saved: "Copy Fonts (Except CJK)". If that box is unchecked, then no Document Fonts folder will be created.

  • InDesign CC is not recognizing the fonts in my Document fonts folder?

    All of these were sent to me in a zip file, in opening the zip i do get an encyption error regarding the Document Fonts.
    Should the Documents Fonts be in the folder with the acutal indd file or in the folder called fonts within InDesign or is it something else?

  • "AdobeFnt13.lst" file missing in the document fonts folder

    Hello,
    I have a bug with Indesign CS5, the "AdobeFnt13.lst" file is now missing in my document fonts folders, even after reinstall of ID.
    I deleted the Preferences folder, font cache etc. nothing works so far.
    An idea someone ?

    YES !
    It's solved now.
    In fact I had a bug with the colour panel a week before this problem and I reinstalled ID a first time (back to the 7.0 version).
    I didn't know about this patch.
    Thank you very much !

  • Document Fonts not outputting in CC2014

    I just upgraded to CC2014 with a brand new Mac Mini, and now I have an issue with outputting PDF's not having the right fonts in them. When working in Indesign, I get no warnings and no preview errors (the fonts look fine) but when I export the PDF all of the fonts have been substituted with System Fonts.
    When I go back to the Indesign file and export again, without doing anything else, the PDF will export just fine.
    Any thoughts on what the issue might be?

    Did anyone find a solution to this? We have been experiencing the same problem in CS6 , it seems to be replacing the fonts as opposed to missing fonts. It is random so we can not recreate it, we can only do one change at a time to see if it goes away. We have tried deleting the font cache each day but that did not work. We will try loading the fonts locally as suggested in this thread. We have been opening the document across a network with the "Documents Fonts" folder method only occasionally we will use a font manager to load fonts.

  • Prevent InDesign loading Document Fonts

    Hi,
    does anybody know how to disable InDesign usinf fonts suuplied in a packaged Document Fonts folder?
    We have a prepress department that receives lots files from different design agencies and the majority of these files are supplied as packaged documents. Our users open these files, work on them and then save a new version of the file in a new folder. The next time a user opens these files the fonts are then missing because the dcoument is not located with the Document Fonts folder.
    We use Universal Type Server to manage all of our users fonts which works well as we can then open documents on different machines without any font issues.
    I know we could rename the Document Fonts folder to something like Supplied Fonts and InDesign would not load them but I just wandered if there was a way of disabling the automatic loading of Document Fonts.
    Thanks,
    Nik

    Agreed. This causes immense headaches for a prepress department. As a prepress operator at a large agency, having InDesign CC 2014 auto-load fonts located in the Document Fonts folder is completely idiotic. So, if I receive a packaged ID file from a client and it contain fonts that we do not own licenses to, this function no longer allows us to get the missing fonts alert, essentially enabling us to load and use fonts we don't own licenses to, without any notification. We absolutely do not want this auto-activation of fonts from the Document Fonts folder! We only recently moved from CS6 to CC 2014 and I'm dumbfounded that a company that sells fonts, and I would assume wants to ensure they are licensed properly, would enable such a process, without a way to turn it off. Is there a way to turn this function off?

  • What font formats work with the InDesignCS5 Document Fonts feature

    Can anyone tell me why some CS5 InDesign documents still show missing fonts, when the file has been packaged and a Document Fonts folder has been created?
    I mark student work, they often download free fonts and use them in their InDesign files, however not all fonts are packaged correctly, and don't load when the packaged InDesign file is opened. I thought this new feature was supposed to overcome this issue.
    Any info would be much appreciated.

    I would expect most free fonts to be true-type, myself, but I don't use them so I don't really know. Badly made fonts can be a problem, no matter the type, and on the Mac platform there were some packaging issues when file paths had "illegal" characters, or were too long (though I don't recall if that was for CS4 or CS5), and I don't know that it affected fonts or only links. In any case, advise your students to update to the latest patch for whatever version they are using.

  • InDesign CS6 - fonts problems (Document fonts fight with system installed fonts, "font incomplete")

    hello
    First, Indesign function to automatically open fonts from "Document fonts" folder is fantastic, quasy font manager. BUT, fonts is available ONLY for THAT indesign document, no other application can use it, even from CS6 suite. This is probably the most stupid decision about how this function must work. IDEALLY, fonts will be available for ALL application inside CS package until indd doc is closed. If I need some font for editing links in photoshop, illustrator I need to install them. This workflow have wrong concept.
    We now have problem, sorry Indesign have problem. Example, I need type1 font mt-symbol for mathtype AND for Indesign. This font is installed in c:\windows\fonts folder. Everything work fine. When I make package from Indesign and reopen indesign indd document inside package, Indesign report that mt-symbol IS INCOMPLETE. WHY, BECAUSE CONCURENT FONTS from both C:\windows\fonts folder AND FROM "Document fonts" folder. If I rename "Document fonts" folder, Indesign open font only from system and everything work properly.
    THIS IS BIG PROBLEM, fonts circles around workflow/folders and always will be duplicates in "document fonts" and system\fonts folder because different application need same fonts.
    Any solution?

    Another problem with the Document Fonts folder that we just noticed: in CS5, you could place Windows Type 1 fonts (.pfm and .pfb) into the Document Fonts folder on a Mac and InDesign would activate them.
    This no longer works in CS6. (Bug report filed.)
    Huge bummer, as this was a great timesaver and workaround in a high-production prepress environment when working with old Windows files. Hopefully this was not an intentional change and will be restored in a later bugfix release, or at worst in CS7.

  • How to tell what fonts are missing in a Photosohp CS5 document?

    Hello!  I have received some work from a graphic designer.  I need to modify some of the text in the document.  When I open the document I get an error message:
    Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output.  Do you want to update these layers now?  [Update] [No]
    If I click [Update] it replaces the font with Myriad Pro.  If I click [No] the text looks the way the designer intended, but I have the exclamation mark-triangle symbol over the layer with the text.  If I try to edit the text I get another warning:
    Editing or rendering the text layer "Text Layer" will cause its layout to change.  Continue?  [Cancel]  [OK]
    The same behavior described above occurs.  If I click [Cancel] I obviously can't edit the text.  If I click [OK] it changes the font to Myriad Pro.
    I would like to determine what font the layer is using.  I could swear that previous versions of Photoshop would tell me what fonts were missing when I opened a document.  I can't use the text tool to select the text without it changing the font.  Other posts have mentioned using the text tool to look at the text drop-down to find a greyed-out font which indicates the missing font.  I do not have that.  I only have perhaps 200 fonts installed.  Can anyone tell me how to determine what fonts a .PSD document is using?  I would prefer not to bug the graphic designer if possible.  Thanks much!
    ~ Dan

    Not sure why you are getting ""Font is present on the system but requires a layout change.", usually you do not get that instead the name of the font shows.
    We use extensis Universal Type Client, so the fonts load automatically upon opening files, and never really get missing fonts in Photoshop.
    Actually fontbook has auto font loading if you want to give that a try. Fontbook >> Preferences

  • How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do?  thanks

    How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do?  thanks

    Hi frenchiem,
    This is due to the PDF file cannot display the original fonts. To fix it, creator should create the PDF file with the embed font option enabled. Thus, user can open the file on any platform with the same layout. Or the Acrobat product can display them after you install the appropriate font support package on the client side.

    Font Management in OS X

  • Indesign Package fonts folder name: "Document fonts" vs "Fonts"

    Hi,
    I have a few indesign packages from customers/product management for testing purposes.
    The relevant part for my question is the name for the folder with fonts. Most packages would have fonts in a folder called "Document fonts", which seems to be what Indesign CC wants.
    I have one package though that seems to be created properly,as in through the Indesign options to create the package and not manually (has the instructions file in it), but the fonts are in a folder called just "Fonts".  If I open it in Indesign CC (Client and Server) and fonts are not found. It works fine if I rename the folder.   
    So, I am not familiar at all with older indesign version, is it possible that Indesign (any version) would create a package with fonts in a folder named "Fonts" (as opposed to "Document fonts")?
    thank you
    Cristian

    Older versions up to InDesign CS4 named the folder Fonts. It was renamed to Document Fonts when the functionality was added to temporarily install fonts for only one document. That is why the font folder has to be in same directory as the INDD file and has to have the exact name Document Fonts.
    You can hold down the cmd key (Mac) and the CTRL key on Windows and go to the menu About InDesign… in the InDesign Menu on the Mac, in the Help Menu on Windows.
    It will tell you the history of your file, and you can learn when this document was, made, when it was crashed, when it was recovered, when it was packaged and with which prom version and OS version. So you can identify some problems which might be inherited in a document.

  • Newly installed font but document still says 'missing font'

    Hi!
    When I opened a Pages template that was sent to me for work, it said the font Dakota was missing. So I proceeded to download the font and it is now in my Font Book. However, when I tried opening the document again, it still said the font is missing. Whats weird is that when making edits, I see the font Dakota under the list of fonts and am able to choose it. How do I fix it such that when I open the file, the font Dakota will be used automatically?
    Appreciate any help on this. Thanks!!

    Have a feeling the alphabetical order may strange like mine on that font. Did they tag the menu name to have Adobe bur invisible, not sure.  Also Check for the calssic menu name not matching font name of "ITC New Century Schoollbook".

  • Fonts missing in CS4 but are installed in Win font folder.

    Hi, newbie member and first forum post.
    Problem - I have 270 fonts installed in the C/win/fonts folder but CS4 only displays ~120 fonts.
    Is there another approach to getting CS4 to access all fonts?
    I have followed up with most related posts on this forum but have not found a solution yet.
    (Running Win XP)
    Thank you - Paul

    Photoshop doesn't always read the file name which is what you see in Explorer.
    Do a right click on a font file and look at Properties.
