Missing Font, But Font Isn't In the Document

Hello,
We're all using FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7.
My client and I are receiving the good old missing fonts error message, specifically:
The "ITC Stone Serif Std Medium Ital Italic" Font is not available.
  It will be replaced by "Times New Roman Italic".
The "ITC Stone Sans Std Semibold" Font is not available.
  It will be replaced by "Times New Roman".
First, the fonts are installed.
Second, Remember Missing Font Names is turned OFF. (Unchecked, cleared, etc.)
Third, the fonts are NOT in the document. I have saved the document as MIF. I have searched for the font names. Nothing. When I open the MIF file in FM, I don't get an error. But I save it as a .fm file, open it, and I receive the same error messages.
We don't use these fonts. We don't want them in our documents. I'm doing a massive clean up to get rid of old formats. About half of the files do not have any problems, but half do. I have tried everything:
- Generating a list of fonts. If the fonts are found, then I go in and manually apply the Default Para Font. Usually, doing this removes the font from the list of fonts. However, I still get the messages.
- Importing formats from a known good file. 
- Editing the MIF, to the point of removing the entire paragraph, character, font, and table catalogs. (I started by deleting references to ITC Stone x, then went on to the more drastic measures.)
- Changing the default printer.
- Copying the text and pasting it into blank files based on known good files.
- I tried editing the maker.ini file to substitute fonts directly, but that didn't work. I may have been doing that wrong, though. 
I've got over 10 years of FM experience, and I've never encountered a font problem that editing the MIF couldn't fix.
All of the documents came over from Frame 6. They're all in the same book.
We need to be able to work on the book file as an entity, without having to open the files that contain errors and leave them open.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you very much!

I found the problem, but I'm not sure why it was a font problem to begin with:
Unresolved cross-references.
FM couldn't open all of the files in the book. Therefore, it couldn't update cross-references. It "thought" cross-references were unresolved.
I figured this out by deleting one page at a time from a Bad file. Then, I deleted one paragraph at a time from the Bad pages to determine that the cross-references were causing the problem.
I was cleaning up the book - deleting paragraph, character, cross-reference, table, and conditional text formats and master and reference pages. I then imported formats from a known Good file. The more files FM could open without errors, the fewer font errors I received. After I was able to generate/update the book, the font errors were gone.
Some of the font calls were on a reference page that was found only in select files. However, one would think that would show up in the MIF.
My best guess is that FM couldn't update the cross-reference formats without updating the cross-references, so it "thought" the text was still in the wrong font. That begs the question: Which came first, the unresolved cross-references or the missing fonts?
Of course, it doesn't explain why FM was complaining about a font that is installed.
Thank you everyone who took the time to answer. I'm sure this won't be the last time I run into this problem, and now I'll have a lot more knowledge for next time.

  • My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

    Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
    You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
    If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

  • Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

    Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

    Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro, version 11.0.10.32.
    I did not create the file I was working in during the freezes, so I tried a PDF that I created with Adobe and it also freezes when I click on COMMENT. I did discover that the COMMENTS plug-in is loaded. (see image
    I have used COMMENT for years without this issue occurring. It started in the last 2 weeks.
    I could not find Properties under the file menu, but found a security setting in Preferences under the Edit menu. It did not have a way to allow/disallow COMMENT.

    Yes, just made sure of that.  I do have the latest version of Flash player.  But I have just staggered upon the answer.  Chalk it up to being a newbi.  I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.
    A rescue email isn't the same as an alternate email.

  • Can't see library in Photoshop. I can see it in Illustrator but can't drag to the document

    The Library idea sound so good but does not work.
    I have the last version of Photoshop and there is not a  LIBRARY panel.
    In ILLUSTRATOR, there is a library panel but, it does not allow to drag from the panel to the document.
    Can you help?

    I have heard of folks who have issues with Illustrator getting it to work right after doing an uninstall and reinstalling the application. On the Photoshop side does the library show up in the WIndows menu? Also you are running CC2014.2.1 right?

    Welcome to the forums horizonjeana,
    I understand you are unable to open your PDF's to view them after they scan however, the scan preview is working fine. I would suggest updating Adobe to see if that helps!
    Open Reader or Acrobat.
    Choose Help - Check For Updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
    Once installed, restart you computer.
    Try to print the PDF again.

    I think Type1 loading is hardcoded into Xorg. That's not a "lethal" error don't worry about it.
    If it bothers you so much try installing "xorg-fonts-type1"

    I have the same issue now after downgrading my Flash plugin. I downgraded from 10 to 9 latest because I like using Camino and for some reason Flash 10 doesn't play nice with Camino. But all of a sudden as I use Camino 2b2 for everyday and Safari 3.2 for banking and such, the browser hangs requiring a forced quit when I close it. I've re-installed the browser twice now with all the previous folders, and preferences erased and caches emptied. I even when to re-installing 10.5.6 and it still crashes, it's odd. Maybe 10.5.7 will address this.

  • Gmail keeps opening as the default email client. I tried to change to Outlook, but it isn't accepting the change

    When I click on an email link in a website, Outlook used to open. Recently however, Gmail is opening instead. I tried to change the settings in tools, options, applications and it says Outlook is my client.
    I also went to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set program access and defaults and chose Outlook, but it keeps resetting to use existing program.
    I realize the second solution I tried isn't a Firefox issues, but I wanted you to know what I have tried to get Outlook back as my email client.
    I use Windows XP, service pack 3

    I see you have Google Toolbar installed. In the Google Toolbar Options dialog, on the Search panel there is an option to use Gmail, make sure it is not selected.

  • "This program cant install because MSVCR110.dll is missing".. but it isn't. Help please.

    As the title says, the installer thinks the MSVCR110.dll file is missing. I have reinstalled the latest version of Visual C++ just to be sure the file wasn't corrupt.  I then checked my system32 folder and the file is there but Adobe updater doesn't seem to know where to find it. I have adobe flash player installed, its the latest update that will not install. Not an urgent issue considering i do have flash. but i'd like to figure this out. Thanks

    I have solved the problem on my system and would like to share the solution.  This solution applies to Windows 7 64 bit (x64) operating system.
    (1) First step was installing the  Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012.  I installed the (x64) version which applies to my 64 bit operating system.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
    (2) After restarting I verified that MSVCR110.dll was installed.  I found it in the System32 folder where .dll files normally go.
    File path:  Computer >> OSDisk(C:) >> Windows >> System32
    ** Here's the problem! In 64 bit systems the MSVCR110.dll must also reside in the SysWOW64 folder as well.  That's apparently where the Adobe Flash Installer is searching for the MSVCR110.dll file.
    (3) I opened the SysWOW64 folder and verified that MSVCR110.dll was not there.
    File path:  Computer >> OSDisk(C:) >> Windows >> SysWOW64
    (4) I opened both the System32 and SysWOW64 side by side and COPIED MSVCR110.dll from the System32 over to the SysWOW64 folder.  So now BOTH folders have a copy. 
    (5) I retried installing Adobe Flash Installer and it worked!
    Dear Adobe.  I just saved you a ton of workforce hours trying to solve this problem.  I would like a 1 year subscription to Photoshop/Lightroom please.
