Keynote and Missing Fonts

Hey all,
I just fired up Keynote for the first time, selected the showtime layout, and then got a console full of errors. Well, it was actually the same error repeating itself. It was saying that I was missing Gill Sans and Markerfelt Thin.
I searched and found that I actually had both of these fonts, but Keynote doesn't seem to notice. They both are in /System/Fonts.
Any suggestions?

Do you really mean that they are in "/System/Fonts"? That folder is not part of the proper OS X system file hierarchy, which would be "/System/Library/Fonts" -- if a font is in the place you indicated, it will not be recognized.
You should be able to add the fonts in the proper location by using Font Book -- under the Font Book File menu, choose "Add Fonts...", then navigate to them on your hard drive and follow the directions. This should make the OS (and Font Book) aware of them. (Alternatively, you could simply move the font files and into /Library/Fonts.)

Keynote: I downloaded the update on Keynote and the fonts did not transfer. How do I transfer fonts. Needing them for Presentation this weekend.

I downloaded the update on Keynote and now have the new system. The fonts did not transfer. I need them to transfer ASAP. I hve a presentation this weekend.

You might still be able to use the old version ('09). Updating Keynote causes the previous version to move to a new location. Open the applications folder and look for a folder named "iWork '09". The previous version of Keynote will be in there.

ATM Light and Missing Fonts in Designer

When I try to open pdf files created on my computer in Designer, it suggests that all of the fonts are not in my system and wants to replace them. Of course they are there, they were just applied to text in the design program before I made the pdf file. I have ATM Light installed to manage fonts on my Windows 2000 computer. I'm wondering if others with ATM Light see the same behaviour. I've read that fonts need to be in the system fonts or designer subdirectory in order for them to be used by Designer. With ATM Light, I am able to store fonts anywhere on my computer and have Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc use them with no trouble. Is this not the case for Designer?

For some reason i tried booting in safe mode before i wanted to reinstall things. And in safe mode everything was ok, all the fonts were working, menus were ok etc.
So i went back into normal mode and it looks quite ok, but context menus are still missing fonts and even more odd... when i'm in fontbook for example the finderbar has the default font, but in safari and finder itself the font changes to something old again.
I'm kind of scared to reinstall and archive things because i have lots off settings for wireless printers and internet locations on my mac school set for me. And i think i cannot really move those files back and let them work after the install...

DeComplier and missing fonts

Hello
I don't have the original source files so I had to resort to
a de-complier. I purchased So-think. When I de-complied the swf it
prompts me for missing fonts. Once I replace the fonts some of the
text in the fla displays and some does not. A majority of the
images are jumped and look nothing like the orginal SWF. Has anyone
experienced this? Also, I think the SWF might be pulling in text or
images from another file?
Thanks for any support,

Dumb Q on Properties Inspector and missing Font tools

I just upgraded to DW CS5. In the Properties Inspector I somehow clicked off some options and can now no longer see font alignment or options like Bold or Italics. Now I have to access it via the FORMAT option at the top. I know this has to be simple but I have searched the web and cannot find the answer!! I do have HTML clicked in the Properties Inspector.
Thanks,
Gary

What I dont get is Left Align, Right Align, Center Justify. I used to get that until I clicked all of the windows at the bottom off and now can't get it back.
Read my reply again:
When CSS is selected, you get CSS options, which include bold, italic,
and alignment. However, it's important to note that using these options
forces you to create a style rule. In CS5, you cannot use HTML
attributes for alignment, except by editing Code view or using the Tag
Inspector panel.
Left Align, Right Align, Center, and Justify are now options in the Property inspector when the CSS button is selected. However, as I wrote before, these options no longer insert the HTML align attributes. To do that, you need to use Code view or the Tag Inspector (Window > Tag Inspector).
Dreamweaver CS5 uses CSS for alignment. You need to learn to use CSS if you want to use the Property inspector for text alignment. Why? Because CSS is now considered the standard way of doing it.

InDesign Freezes when Missing Links Missing Fonts

When I open an InDesign document that has missing/updated links AND missing fonts InDesign in a sense "freezes" as with both these error pop up boxes it refuses to recognize when I click on the "fix" or "cancel" or "ignore" buttons. The only way out is to force quit and the next time I start up and open the document when these boxes pop up I click "ignore" very quickly and then fix once I am in the document. very strange I know. Has this happened to anyone else?!? If so, is there a fix? Better than force quitting?!?
I am working in CS3 and OS 10.4.11 (Mac of course :)

Just a thought -- if you use the Return key on the keyboard, does it dismiss the dialog boxes?

Pdf created with Mathematica 9 misses font in Preview and Keynote

Dear all,
I have installed a new font called 'Arev Sans' in Regular, Italic and Bold face. It works fine in Keynote and Mathematica and all other programs so far. Now I did an Export of a plot in mathematica and tried to look at the created pdf with Preview. It turns out, that only the Italic and Bold fonts of Arev Sans are shown in the correct way. The Regular face is substituted by another font. Unfortunately this is the same if I try to include the plot in Keynote, which is bad because I want to use the Arev font in my presentation... However, if I open the pdf with Acrobat Readrer the fonts are ok.
Does anyone have a suggestion what to do? Would be great!

I did as you suggested and there are no errors after the valdiation with Font Book.
Yes Regular is listed against Arev.
Actually, the font works in Keynote and also in Mathematica. The problem occurs just when I do the Export from Mathematica and include the created pdf into Keynote (or likewise open it with Preview). It seems to me that there is an issue with the font coming from Mac Os...

Missing fonts in Keynote file : how to replace them ?

When opening a Keynote file that had fonts not installed on the system, an alert window used to open.
You could then easily replace the missing fonts with other ones installed.
Not anymore !
The alert window still appears in Keynote V6, but the "replace font" option is missing.
Does anyone know a workaround ?

yeah, I tried the whole modifying the master slide thing but the missing fonts aren't on there, they would have come from slides I deleted as well or already replaced the fonts on so not sure why they are lingering....
oh wait...I think I might have just figured out something. The whole "revert to previous version" wouldn't that have something to do with still remembering fonts used in a previous version? I'm going to try and see if I can duplicate the current document in some way that makes it a new version with no history in it.
Other than that I was going to try exporting to '09 do the replace fonts tool that was in there and then open it back up but I'll have to modify the transitions and shadows that were new to current version of keynote.

Missing fonts warning when opening a Keynote file

I'm using Keynote 2.0.2 on a Mini Mac. Having searched for an answer to the ubiquitous "Missing Font" problem when opening a Keynote file, I was wondering if upgrading to the latest version would solve this problem. Unless it does, we would have to think twice about upgrading the software. A lot of users seem to have the problem with version 3 too. Does anyone have a solution to this? The presentation runs perfectly well, but the warning message is annoying and doesn't look nice when presenting to clients. HELP!
1.42 GHz Mac Mini PPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB DDR SDRAM

I've experience this same problem multiple times. There is a way to get rid of the troublesome font, thereby getting rid of the annoying message. I may be glossing over a step or two, but it goes something like this:
(1) In the Finder, right click on the Keynote file and select "Show Package Contents"
(2)Locate the index.apxl.gz file and open it. The file exands -- then open the index.apxl file with Textedit (or Word). Throw away the gz file.
(3) Do a search and replace -- find all instances of the troublesome font name and replace it with a non-troublesome font name, such as GillSans
(4) Close the text file.
Opening the Keynote file should now proceed normally. Note: Better practice this on a dummy file until you are sure everything works. I imagine that if you muck up the index file that the orignial Keynote file might be toast!

Missing font in Keynote 6

Every time I open Keynote 6.2.2 I receive the message “The font GillSans is missing.” This is frustrating for two reasons:
I don’t use the font personally, so I assume it is on some master slide
and the font is installed in my Font Book.
Any help on how to solve this would be very much appreciated.

This is a well known issue. Try resetting Keynote using this procedure, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
remove Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application. You must use an application removal tool for this repair to work.
empty the trash: Finder > Empty Trash
Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is being repaired
when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
install Keynote from the Mac App Store

Keynote complains of missing fonts not in presentation

Keynote complains about two missing fonts when I open a file, even though I have gone through the deck and changed all of the text elements to a known font.
I checked the .apxl file in the package, and it's making references to these missing fonts in paragraph styles that are not being used in the presentation. Is there a way to remove the missing fonts short of redoing the deck from scratch?

Same problem as previous poster but...
1. I have no idea what an apxl file is; a search of that extension yields zip. Where do I find this file and how do I modify it safely?
2. I don't want to replace the missing fonts as they are not used anywhere I can find (and I went through every page); rather, I want any reference to them to go away. How do I do that?
3. I am unable to export the show as a QuickTime file because, "There is a problem with the file," according to Keynote. Could the (erroneous) missing fonts be the problem?

Keynote missing fonts

I've been plagued with error messages saying I have missing fonts. This is an iMac and iWork software I purchased in December, 2006 and all software is up to date. I'm new to macs and cannot figure this out. Is there Apple support for Keynote? I'm suspicious this is why some exports to Powerpoint aren't clean (some garbled text).
This is a request for help, thanks.
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

This uses to happen on my mac when (and only when) I import powerpoint files coming from PCs. Apparently the mac doesn't feature all (or exactly the same) fonts as in windows, and then you have an alert saying font X is missing.
Generally this doesn't prevent viewing, but as the replacement font used by Keynotes won't always be the exact same size as the windows one, it may result in text fields slightly deformed. In some cases you even have some trouble (e. g. big text field now too large for the slide surface) and you have to manually correct this (select smaller font...)
I personally never felt the need to install the related PC fonts, but if you have this issue daily, you may consider this...
P. S. this kind of issue also happens for instance when opening Word files in Pages (or open office...) for the same reasons

Keynote and Docs to go are missing after iOS5 update

I recently upgraded my iPad2 to iOS5 and now my keynote and docs to go apps are missing. What do I do now?

If you previously downloaded them they should be free. I know it looks like you will be charged but if you click on the app to install it, enter your ID and start the download, a box will pop up saying that it looks like you have already downloaded this app and it will download it again (free of charge). That has been my experience.

I have some presentation on the ipad 2 which went missing even though it is still on the icloud. how do i load them onto the ipad again? I have already updated the keynote and am currently on ios8

Here you go:
You should be able to hit the "Agree" button, if you are on an iPhone right now. On a Mac, you should just left click the button where it said "Accept". I hope this helped.
To quit the app store, simply hit these keys:
Than, you should come up with this window:
Select the app store with:
a) The up and down arrow keys
b) Your cursor
Than hit the 'Enter' button twice. This should close the app store. The force quit window is also accesible through the apple logo in the top left corner of the screen. It should say:
Force Quit...

I bought and installed many fonts for a project and one font in particular which is showing up in the font list on a new file, is missing when I open an existing file containing that font. I can't understand why that's happening and the font is Centrale S

Hi
I am encountering a missing font error on Adobe Illustrator for a font that I recently bought - Centrale Sans Bold. This font is clearly installed in the system's font folder and is also showing in the font list on Adobe Illustrator. But when I open an existing file containing this font it is giving the error "The document uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified".
We have also bought Centrale Sans regular from a different website as we couldn't find both on one, could that be clashing somehow?
Also the existing file was created on MAC plattform and we are using a windows plattform to open it. That to me doesn't seem like an issue as all other files are opening up fine and I have bought around 47 fonts and only this font seems to be not working. I have also written to the website I bought it from but I have also bought around 20-25 fonts from them and all the other fonts are working fine too. Maybe its an illustrator related problem?
Please help!!!!!!

There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?
