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!

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

  • Finding out what fonts are missing

    Hi,
    I have just installed Fireworks and opened a firework file sent from our designers, when I opened it I was told that there are some missing fonts that i do now have installed. So now all text defaults to arial.
    Is there a way that I can find out what these fonts are? Or am I going to have to contact the designers.
    Cheers
    Stephen

    Close the file and open it again. When you are prompted to Maintain Appearance or Replace fonts, cvhoose Replace fonts. FW will open a new dialog box containing a list of the missing fonts, plus those you might want to replace them with. You can exit this box without making any changes.

  • How to tell what apps are "running" in multitasking pane?

    My understanding of how the ipad works is that when one presses the home button, the open app closes. However, when multitasking using the bar, how does one determine which apps are actively running versus which apps are simply displayed as part of the recently used apps list? I often have multiple safari windows plus a few apps open at one time. (I know I can view the safari windows by hitting the "windows" icon on the menu bar.
    I'd like to be able to conserve battery life by killing background apps when necessary. But there is no "task pane" to see what's open at any given time.
    Any help appreciated,

    The recent apps bar is really for selecting among recent apps. That is to say it is a way to switch between apps without having to go to the app screens to find the app.
    Note only a subset of apps are actually capable of multitasking and these are rather obvious when they are running. There is an indicator to the left of the battery level indicator which indicates this (>).
    Let me give an example. I just opened an app called My First Puzzle Toys. From the app home screen there is no close or exit option. With the app open, if I touch the home button on the bottom of the bezel, does this close it? Or is it still running? Similarly, if I double click the home button and choose Safari from the list, are both then running? Another example: I just double clicked the home button and launched Labryinth. The game's home screen has no exit choice. If I double click the home button and choose Safari, is Labrynith still running?
    Maybe I just don't understand how this os works. Do apps not use memory if they are not actively shown on the screen?

  • How to tell what maps are loaded?

    Please forgive me if this has been asked already:
    I have an N95 8GB, over the past few days, I've been playing around with the Map Loader program, loading different things up and deleting them. But, I can't remember where I left it, and which maps I have and haven't loaded yet. Is there any way of telling what maps have been loaded onto the device already? Maybe using the Map Loader or via the phone itself?
    Also, after I've loaded a few maps to the phone via map loader, is there any way to delete just some of the maps already loaded, but not all? When I was using the Map Loader, it didn't seem to give an option to delete some. It appears to be just a Delete All.
    Thanks!
    Kev

    That is the annoying thing about Map Loader. You have to delete all maps to delete just one.
    Anyway, it isn't all as bad as it sounds because Nokia Maps update their maps twice a year so you should reload your maps every 6 months to make sure you have the latest map anyway. So every 6 months I delete all maps and reload the ones I want.

  • Keynote 6 "fonts are missing"

    I've installed a clean install of Mavericks and Keynote 6 (I had version 5).
    Now I get the error "4 fonts are missing" when I open a old keynote presentation.
    But how can I add the fonts when I don't see WHAT fonts are missing?
    I can only click OK or cancel and when you click OK and select soms text and look in the TEXT panel the font says blank.
    Is this just a big bug of can I see somewhere else what fonts are missing?
    Thanks!

    I get the same error. I figured out one of the fonts, which I hadn't installed yet on the box. Didn't help. Even though the new font shows up in the font chooser after opening the presentation, Keynote insists it's missing and uses a default choice while opening the font.
    I'm not playing games here; this is a teaching presentation I've spent a few hundred hours on over the last 4 years. This bug effectively breaks dozens of slides because they have builds and highlighting that were to line up with the original text. In other words, I can't use Keynote 6 with this bug.

    My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone  to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • How can i tell what devices are accessing my iMessages?

    I suspect someone has set up an iPad to download my iMessages without my authorization. How can I tell what devices are linked to my phone's iMessaging?

    Thank you both. I am changing my password...I was just hoping there was some way I could tell if this other person had been reading my iMessages up to this point. It seems like there is not. How about this scenerio: I turn off the iMessaging on my phone. I have someone who has iMessaging send me an iMessage. We see if their device registers their message as "delivered" even if it doesn't come through to my phone. Would that indicate then that it had been delivered to another device?

  • I just got an IPAD2 on Saturday.  With the Mac, I could always tell when programs were open/running by going to the menu bar.  How can I tell what programs are running in the background.  I am struggling with not being able to go to a menu bar at the top

    You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.
    If you haven't already got a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • Some text fonts are missing or not displayable???

    Can anyone help!?
    Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
    I opened a logic 7 song today and had this error message pop up 'some text fonts are missing or not displayable'. I then noticed whenever I tried to mute audio (using 'Apple M') logic would crash.
    Any clues what has happened or how I fix this?
    Thank you!
    G

    I have had this exact issue/warning when opening up older songs that I made in previous versions of Logic.
    To solve it, do this procedure even if you never use the Score Editor:
    1. Open the Score Editor
    2. Go to Text>Text Styles (in the toolbar: Layout,Edit,Functions,Attributes, Text, View, Options
    3. When you open Text Styles you will see the grid with different kinds of Fonts for the various Score Editor settings. In this grid, whatever fonts are not available on your computer will have some sort of asterisk bracket stuff instead of saying the name of the font that is already on your computer - Arial, Times, Helvetica etc.
    4. Change the fonts by clicking them and selecting ones that are on your computer. If you dont use the Score Editor, it doesnt matter what fonts you put there. Anything will do but you must get rid of the columns which have got a 'hole' with brackets.
    5. Save the document with the changes made - the problem should not re-occur.
    PS For some reason, when booting up, Logic experiences a 'crisis' when it doesnt have previous fonts available. As I said, do this even if you never use the Score Editor

  • Open, save and then fonts are missing

    I am receiving InDesign 5.5 files from clients. I can open them, make changes, do a save-as and close. When I immediately re-open the file, I get an error that most of the fonts are missing. I am using Linotype Font Explorer X, v 1.2.3 and I understand it is the latest version. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

    Umm. I will have to check. I may be saving just outside of their job folder in the our enclosing job folder. We put client files/folders into a job folder with that job number on it. When doing the "save as", normal procedure is to save just outside the original file folder, leaving original client files untouched and our files separate from theirs. I may have tried saving into the client folder, but will go back and try that.

  • How to tell what packages have recently run

    Occasionally, after start up, I'll see something that looks like a package that quickly runs.  I have no idea where to look for information to figure out what ran.  I've ran searches trying to find out how to tell what packages have recently run but have not found anything useful.  If anyone knows or has any ideas on what I can do to figure that out, I'd love the help.

    You are welcome. Based on my experiences, the only time I look at Console is when something is not working. You could get overly engrossed trying to figure out what everything means.

  • Fonts are missing after reloading ID-CS3

    The nightmare continues. After having a major corruption of all Adobe software about a month ago, my IT person finally had to completely wipe my machine clean and reload everything. I am on Windows Vista and using Adobe CS3 Design Standard.
    Now, with everything reloaded, my Adobe InDesign fonts are missing. There is nothing in the InDesign fonts folder. What can I do to get all my InDesign fonts back?

    I found lists for ID CS, and Creative Suites 3 and 4. The list for CS2 appears to have been an attached PDF that is no longer attached.

  • How to tell what template is applied to a Framemaker file?

    I'm new to Framemaker...so please excuse if this is a silly question.
    We are trying to figure out how to tell what template has been applied to a Framemaker file. We are using the structured view in Framemaker 7.2.
    Perhaps I am thinking too much like a Microsoft Word user -- in which case I can look at what template has been applied to a document.
    Does Framemaker work the same way -- or are templates associated with Framemaker files in some other way?
    Thank you --
    J-Ha

    J-Ha,
    FrameMaker works differently. Strictly speaking, there is no way to tell which template was used last. A FrameMaker template is just a FrameMaker document which you call "template". Using File > Import > Formats you can import all or selected formats from one document to another. The main benefit: Each document is completely self-contained and does not require any other document.
    Many solutions I know of include a user variable named something like "template-version" into their template document or put the version information on one of the reference pages. When importing user variables or reference pages, this can tell you version imported last.

  • All fonts are missing in indesign

    I closed my file last night with master pages items and text layers locked in the layers pallette.
    The file is to the point that I have master pages set with columns, and guides, and pages, and footer with text.  It is all layed out with images, ready to start typography.  I used Myriad pro, and I think Bell ( this may have been brought in from dafont, not sure).
    When I opened the file this morning it said that the fonts were missing.  I tried to find the missing fonts, but ALL the fonts are missing in the font selection window.
    This was when I realized that the layers were locked.  I dont know if this had anything to do with it, but Ive never used layers before, so assume it is a connection.
    I tried opening a new document and there are no fonts available there either.  It says times, but you cant change it.  It is showing pink backgound like when fonts are missing, and just Os'.
    I opened illustrator to see if the fonts are available there, and they are, no problem.  It is just indesign that is affected. 
    Can anyone help?
