Find Font dialog box appears when opening files

This didn't used to happen, but now whenever I open an Illustrator file, the "Find Font" dialog opens as though the fonts I'm using aren't found. Not sure what it wants me to do because no matter what I try nothing resolves. I simply click the "Done" button and go about my business. And there are no problems. Why is this happening? and why now? My fonts are always loaded before I open the file, the file looks and handles just fine.
Mac OS 10.5.5
CS3 Illustrator 13.0.2
Suitcase Fusion 12.1.7
Thanks

I realise this is an old thread but recently experienced this problem and found a solution that worked for me.
MacBook Pro
OS X 10.8.2
Illustrator CS6
FYI, my case is slightly different from the OP's: Illustrator was exhibiting this behaviour with only one of my files so I guessed that the problem might be with that specific file. The Find Font dialog box would appear every time the file was opened, even though it showed that all the necessary fonts were present. I didn't have admin rights for that machine and couldn't delete any preference files. So, I tried creating a new .ai file, copying everything over and saving it with a new name. No more dialog box after that.
Hope this helps.

  • Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear when opening a file?

    Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear every time I open a file- asking to substitute fonts that I've had working for years. Also, what is that pink box around the type- they are not missing fonts.

    Which version?- Latest Creative Cloud Type Kit
    Which system?- Mac OS 10.10.1, iMac 7i
    Where does the file come from? File is an Adobe Illustrator CC
    Which fonts?- Any and all fonts that was used in the .ai file which I have been using for years.
    Do you use font management? Which one? Mac Font Book
    Are you really sure that your fonts are properly installed? Yes and verified.    
    Did it ever work? Yes, Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud I get a window stating that the fonts in an existing file are missing and do I want to substitute.
    Did you just upgrade?- Apps always upgraded.
    Did you change systems?- Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud
    The PINK box around the type, I believe, indicates a missing font- but they are not missing and I'm sure as hell not going to let Type Kit control MY FONTS.  How do I turn it off as the pink box is intruding with the design composition???
    SEE Sumit Singh’s reply- worked for the pink highlight. I have to see about the dialog box thing- I will let you know.

    Make build a sub vi which performs these conditions, base on the task selected.
    select its 'show front panel' properties,
    Or in Menu>>VI properties>> windows appearance>> select appearance as 'Dialog box' )
    Keep this sub VI in a Main VI, inside a case structure.( inside either true or false)

  • Find Font Dialog box opening Ai files

    The Find Font box always opens immediately upon some Ai CS3 files, even when there are no missing or substituted fonts indicated.
    User has to hit done to clear the box. It is anoying several users thru out the studio....
    Any ideas what would cause this?

    One possibility though unlikely is that there is a symbol with a font that was saved with the default document profile and it contains a font that is not being recognized however that woud not affect Illustrator  when launching without creating a docuent first.
    So this not likely then it would mean one of two things the font cache is corrupt and/or the prefences are corrupt.
    Always give some idea of your system and version of Illustrator and something about your plug ins as well.
    That is also a possiblity you have a plug in that might have a conflict causing this and or a thrid party application running which is in conflict with Illustrator.This should go without saying always when you have strange behavior to suspect a conflict.
    Are you runing  or haave you installed any knew fonts or plug ins or software any updates.
    You should tell us about these things. Remember we do not know how you are set up.
    But you can try this
    Mac
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS# Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
    PC
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS# Settings folder.
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

  • Image not appearing when opening file

    This just started happening and I don't know if I inadvertently have changed a setting. I open a file in Photoshop and the file is obviously open because I can see it in the history or layers panel. However it does not appear on the screen. I've tried changing my viewing and other things, and it just isn't there. It's like it's behind something. But what?
    My only solution is to shut Photoshop down completely, reopen Photogshop and reopen the file. Very inconvenient.
    Any clue?

    Suprisingly enough we had this same question about 4 days ago.  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/982940?tstart=60
    Did not hear back from OP if problem solved.

  • Find Font dialog

    Hi,
    I ve written a program to convert specified fonts in the document to another font, this runs for a batch of illustrator files... The program finds out the fonts used in each textframe and then does the processing. This takes a lot of time.
    I need to know whether it is possible to access the FindFont dialog through script(VB or JS)????
    (i.e.) Type->FindFont in the illustrator application
    Is this possible?
    Someone pls guide me...
    Thank You...

  • I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

    # Question
    I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

  • Export Save / Open dialog box appears behind disco screen

    Hi all
    Disco 10g Plus, excel, latest Sun java 6.16 jvm
    We have an annoying but strange issue with exporting.
    A user opens and runs a report ok.
    Withing Disco 10 plus they then click on either file-Export-excel or click on the Export Excel icon on disco plus toolbar
    Either way the export happens and a dialog box appears with blue progress bar and then this disappears.
    And then nothing appears to happen.
    However, something actually has happened, behind the disco 10 window the 'File Download' dialog box with 'Do you wish to open or save this file?' appears. Clicking on save saves it to PC and clicking open opens it in Excel which is fine.
    I am not sure of this box belongs to excel or internet explorer but does anyone know of any way to have this dialog box appear IN FRONT of the current disco plus window as some of our users think that disco has 'frozen' and thus log support calls.
    thanks in advance,
    dw

    Hi dw
    I have heard of folks complaining that exports to Excel hang. I have not had any feedback to say that the dialog box is actually open behind the scenes. This is very interesting news and thanks for reporting it. I will certainly look for this in the future and see if I can find a pattern.
    If I may ask, what exact version of Discoverer are you on and what cumulative patch level have you implemented?
    Also, what browser are you using and have you tried this in another one?
    Have you tried deinstalling Java 6.16 and tested with an older one like 6.11 which I have seen working very well?
    As much extra information as you can provide will definitely help and could trigger an idea from someone reading.
    Best wishes

  • Help: printing skips dialog box option when printing from the finder

    Anyone else running into the issue where you select a file from the finder, choose Command + P and instead of getting the print dialog box you get the file printed to the default printer?  It is really annoying when you want to select print options or change printers.  Is there a preference setting to force the print dialog box to open when choosing print from the finder.  Currently I have to open the file in an app like Preview and then choose Command + P to get this to happen.
    Any insights appreciated!

    Is this recent that you are not seeing the print dialog when printing from Finder?
    There isn't a preferences setting to force the dialog that I know of, but you can do a drag and drop to a printer while holding the option key - that'll give you access to the print dialog.

  • I am using an iphone 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.

    HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE  3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
    AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
    PLEASE HELP ME.

    This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

  • Safari crashes when using the dialog box to import/save files, in facebook under windows 7

    I've encountered the following errors in some PCs, running Safari 5.1.7 in MS-Windows 7 Pro:
    Safari crashes when using the dialog box to import/save files. One doesn't have to actually upload or download any file, the mere invocation of the relevant dialog box brings down all open Safari windows after a couple of seconds.

    I have tried in-installing safari but it seems not to help. I have tried installing it to a third, newly installed pc and come to the same result.
    All PCs are fully up-to-date as it regards Microsoft and Apple patches. Any ideas as to why this might happen?

    Still having the same problem. Ever the optimist, I submit the following info.

  • [Converted] appears when opening CS2 files

    Our office uses InDesign CS2 v.4.0.5 on Windows XP Professional SP3, and we're having a problem with one computer. When we attempt to open any InDesign documents on it, the pages open as "FileName.indd @ 100% [Converted]" and then bring up a Save As... dialogue when we try to save them. It's acting like it's a different version of InDesign altogether, but it claims to be CS2 v.4.0.5 like everyone else's.
    Someone used to use that computer daily, and it didn't have any problems then, and it hasn't been updated as far as I know. I'd avoid using it now, but we've got a test station set up there for an install of a program tied into InDesign.
    Should we just reinstall and see if that fixes the problem, or is there something else going on?
    Thanks!

    The converted tag is only appended, as far as I know, when opening in a newer version, or possibly when opening a Pagemaker or Quark file (which I seldom to never do anymore). This should not happen when opening files from the same version but a different dot release update.
    Presuming you are correct and that machine really i s running CS2, it sounds like you 've found some older files that haven't been updated yet, but here's waht you can do to find out. On Windows, oven the Help Menu and hold the Ctrl key while you click on About InDesign. On mack it's the Cmd key, and I can never remember if it's under the InDesign Menu or the Help menu, but you want the About ID item.
    You should see a very detailed dialog with a complete version number including the build in teh upper left corner, lots of inforamtion about plugins and such, and in the lower left is a complete file save history, including versions and platforms and whtehr it was opened as a conversion from another app.

    sign in with the proper account
    from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID
