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?

How to replace a missing font in a presentation

There are free fonts who present different names (e.g. bauhaus and bauhaus 93), but are practically identical. In the previous version of Keynote, when opening a presentation made on another computer, there was a warning if a font used in that presentation was missing in the Font book of the actual computer, and there was the possibility to substitute the missing font with one of my choice. In the new version 6.01 (2013),there is only a warning stating that the presentation has been changed, due to a missing "xy" font. Is there a way to have the possibility to choose the substitutive font again?
Thank you.

No, you cannot expect the document to print as it was designed to appear without the support files. The best you can do is replace the font with another typeface. Perhaps one that looks similar to Helvetica Neue Condensed. You can try that via the FindFont feature.
As for the missing images, InDesign will render a lo-res proxy for screen and basic output, but those too are unsuitable for professional output and will need to be replaced.

WMF format equations available/missing fonts not displayed/alerted

WMF format equations fonts are not displayed in the applications, If any fonts used on that equations is missing in the system the indesign will not show/alert any missing font warring to the user and the substitute fonts replaced automatically for the missing fonts, Because of this the output PDF comes with wrong fonts. How to fix the equation font missing issue in Indesign.
Your suggestions are welcome.
Required Details
Indesign CS5.5
OC - Windows XMP
Equation Software : Math type
Format: WMF

Best practice would be not to use WMF at all in InDesign.
WMF cannot embedd fonts, so the second best practice would be to use a WMF without live text.
Best would be to use ai or pdf files.
What other format can Math Type export?
// I did have a look on Softonic's web site. They write that Math Type can export EPS. Use that!
/// If you have also font embedding problems with EPS take care that you use fonts which allow embedding (not every font does) and put the EPS in the Distiller with some kind of setting without color conversion and make a PDF of it, then use this PDF. The PDF should be dcreated on a computer with the same fonts available which you have used with Math Type.

Missing fonts not identified in open documents

Adobe documentation states that when a document is opened that uses uninstalled fonts, a message will identify the missing fonts and offer to use font substitution. This is not what happens when I open such a document in Photoshop CS3. The warning message does not identify the missing fonts, nor can I click the offending text to get this information because font substitution happens automatically before the file is opened. The result is that I have no idea, in some cases, which fonts are missing. This is incredibly dumb!
How can I get Photoshop CS3 to tell me which fonts are missing? Thanks!

Unfortunately, Photoshop DOES substitute fonts. My files most definitely never specified Myriad Pro (which is what all the type in these documents has been converted to) or anything even remotely resembling Myriad Pro. What Photoshop does not do is provide a way to specify the font substitution settings at all.
As for Suitcase, it has its limitations; but honestly, I am unimpressed by every one of the font management programs out there. I have not had activation problems with Suitcase Fusion in the past, but who knows? Maybe I'll have better luck if I try to open my files in Photoshop CS. Thanks for your feedback!

Missing font not missing

I created a newsletter on the Windows XP platform using InDesign CS4. The newsletter was fine, and I "packaged" it with all the fonts. I then upgraded to Windows 7 (64-bit). Now, when I open the same newsletter, Adobe tells me Arial Black is missing. But it's right there in the Font folder, and when I try to reinstall it in Windows, just to see what happens, Windows says it's already there.
If this helps, when I select the font in the newsletter, it is listed in InDesign within brackets, like so: [Arial Black]. What gives? And how do I fix it?
Thanks!

After Reformat There Are Missing Fonts - NOT SOLVED

I know i already posted it but i said it was solved... turns out i didnt solve the problem. Heres whats wrong:
I recently zeroed all the data on my hard drive and started all over with my mac. However, I recently discovered, with the reformat, I lost my fonts. Even normal ones like Tahoma! How do I get these. I'm sure tahoma is a normal font that should be bundled with all computers and i remember using it before i reformatted my computer.
i also noticed this problem when i created a new account before i reformatted. no tahoma. unfortunately i forgot to back up my fonts folder so i dont remember what i had and what i didnt have. i think i might have imported the Tahoma font from my XP. but if thats not the case, then why isnt it there, and how can i get it back? I know for iDVD there was a similar problem where they didnt have any "Previous Menus" and all i had to do was unpack a package program thing (one of those open box icons) and they were there.
I'm sure I'm not the only person that has this problem since i have the same version of Tiger that everyone else has. What do i do? Or does tahoma just not come with Mac/Tiger?

Tahoma is not an OS X installed font. You must have installed it as part of some other application or as a separate font. Tahoma is a Microsoft font which suggests that it's installed when you install a particular Microsoft product, for example, Office 2004 X.

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.

Placed Pdf in illustrator missing fonts no warning

I have placed a pdf in illustrator that has embedded subset fonts. In illustrator the fonts display wrong but I get no warning that fonts are missing. When I click on the substituted font the type panel shows it as the correct font name. Are there any cases of a file with missing fonts not displaying a warning? If I save the file and reopen it I do get the font warning.

Possibly there are different versions of the font. The name may be the same, but the document could refer to an older/ different version and only when you save does that info get updated. Hard to tell without actually seeing the Doc. What does Acrobat say exactly about the font? Is there a doifference in that info when you re-create the text locally from within AI and save a PDF with the same options?

Missing font makes Adobe InDesign CS4 6.0.4 crash

Hi!
I am having a problem with the latest version of Adobe InDesign CS4 (v 6.0.4).
I opened an old document which contained two missing fonts.
I was able to correct the first one by changing it to an existing font.
But when I tried to correct the second one, the application crashed.
I did this:
1. Opened the document with the missing font (the first font was now already corrected).
2. In the warning dialog window saying a font was missing, I clicked "Find Font".
3. The missing font was called "Helvetica (T1) Bold Narrow". I set it to be replaced by "Helvetica Regular".
4. Then I clicked "Change All".
5. Indesign CS4 crashes.
This is the information about the missing font (note that it says "First Used: na" which is strange):
Filename: <not installed>
Full Name: Helvetica
First Used: NA
Font: Helvetica (T1) Bold Narrow
PostScript Name: Helvetica-Narrow-Bold
Style: Bold Narrow
Type: Type 1
Version:
Restrictions: Unkonwn (Font is missing)
Path: Unknown (Font is missing)
Character Count: 27
Style Count: 0
Styles:
Page: none
Does anyone have a solution, or is this a bug?
Thanks

Hi! Thanks for your answer.
I am using Windows XP (SP3).
I tried to export my INDD file (ID CS4 format) to an INX file.
But that also made InDesign crash (perhaps because of the font thing).
Unfortunately I can't change the missing font of the text because:
* I can't see the text frame that contains the missing font.
* InDesign crashes when using the "Find Font" function.
However, this is not a big problem, I can still work with the file. But I will
always get the annoying warning about the missing font, and I prefer to
have no errors in my INDD files.

How to find the missing fonts while running the script?

hi,
I need to create a script to find the missing font. not only for that. Actually i created a script to read the file properties. but i have a problem while running the script.
I have put "User Interation Level" to never interact. Even i need to check wheather each file have "missing fonts". mean time i never stop the script.
Is It Possible???
Regards,
SubhaOviya

Here's a shot of the Find Font Dialog:
Papyrus (highlighted in the list) is missing, and there's a yellow warning triangle to show that. Fonts that ar not missing have an icon to show the type of font. You'll also see it shown as missing in the "Info" box at the bottom of the dialog.
If you use the Replace With dropdown you will only see fonts listed that are installed on the system. In order to actually use the missing font, rather than substitute a different font in its place, you must obtain and install the missing font on the system.
Are you seeing something different when you open Find Font?

Missing fonts in PDF or not?

I have an InDesign document that has a linked and placed PDF in it. When I go to export the InDesign document, it gives me the error "Missing Fonts: The following fonts aren't currently available." It then lists the PDF document, and the fonts missing. It then exports the PDF anyways, and the PDF looks fine.
The strange thing is that when I go to Package in InDesign, it says that no fonts are missing, and that all are embedded.
So which is it? Are the fonts embedded or not?

Two additional potential font gotchas:
1) It's changed location in the menus from version to version of Acrobat Pro, but there's a setting "Use Local Fonts" that can trip you up. If it's checked, and you have a PDF that uses (for example) Garamond Premier Pro, but that font is not embedded, then Acrobat will use your installed copies of Garamond Premier Pro to display the PDF "correctly." If you take it to a computer that doesn't have that font installed, the PDF won't "look fine" as you say in your initial post.
2) If a font is used in the source document and is not embedded in the PDF, Acrobat will try to fake up the font using the fonts that are directly installed in Acrobat. (At least it used to work this way, I don't know if it has changed recently.) So, when you go and look at your PDF and decide it looks fine, take a really
close look.
The strange thing is that when I go to Package in InDesign, it says that no fonts are missing, and that all are embedded.
The font check when you package only looks at fonts used in the InDesign document itself; it doesn't go looking for the fonts used in placed PDFs, AIs, etc. Also, when I try an experiment with a test document with a placed PDF with a font that is neither embedded in the PDF nor present on my system, InDesign complains when I place the PDF that the font is not embedded in the PDF, but there is no notice when packaging the file. What's more, the packaging process doesn't say a word about whether or not fonts are embedded in placed documents, so when you tell us that Package tells you that all fonts are embedded, I wonder where you're seeing that.

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!

KEYNOTE: Why change the format of the presentations? not respect the original format!

Why change the format of the presentations? Keynote not respect the original format!
This new versionof Keynot (6.1-1769) is very poor:
is very slow
missing fonts
changes the selected letters
change the formats of the presentations
Carousel animations missing
Please correct the defects before releasing a new version. (The previous version was much better).

Found the solution!
I must set the Formats in the CODEC to get the Format that I want to play with! I was trying to complicate too much!
The correct format class to is RGBFormat.

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" message when the fonts are *not* missing

I get the "Missing fonts" message fairly often for fonts that are not really missing. Then I have to specify the fonts that I used to create a given document, which are installed on my Windows XP system and have never left.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there any way to stop it from recurring? It happens every so often, not every time I open a document but every once in a while. It involves a particular set of fonts (Geometric).
Any suggestions? Thanks.

>I don't see any AdobeFnt*.lst files in my Fonts folder. But is that where to look?
No. They're scattered through all of the Adobe application folders. Do a search for AdobeFnt*.lst (using the *) and it should find them all. They get rebuilt automatically as required after deletion. Don't delete any file ending in .db.
