Missing Font error message

I keep getting an error message on my iWeb that I am missing a font named SymbolMT, but I have never used that font please help

Try trashing the file Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist and restarting your Mac.
iWeb seems to think that you have used this font and doing the above should clear up this issue.

Missing Fonts Error Message-Pages 2.0.1

I created a brochure with Pages (2.0.1) - No problems. I reopened the brochure and saw an error message stating that there were "missing fonts." I have one Admin account and one User account. I installed the application under the User account and created the brochure under the User account. I have not moved or added any fonts - Only have fonts that came with the OS and that were installed by Pages. Please help! This is VERY annoying. Can not find help under OS or Pages help topics.

I had this problem a while back. Sometimes the package info gets confused and you end up with a font that doesn't exist. It tends to happen when converting files from Word but it can happen within Pages. Selecting all the document and changing the font wont correct it however there is a way to solve this:
Open script editor and enter the following script:
tell application "Pages"
tell front document
set aRef to a reference to (every character of body text whose font name is "ENTER MISSING FONT NAME")
set font name of aRef to "ENTER NEW CHOSEN FONT"
end tell
end tell
Ensure Pages is open and the document is open. Compile the script and run it. Now wait as it takes a while for the script to run and there is no indication it is running. When the script editor is done close the doc and reopen it.
Ensure that you enter the precise name of the font that Pages says is missing and the new one you want to replace it with. If it's misspelt it wont work.
Also this only works on Pages 2, not on Pages 1.

Missing Fonts Error

A lot of people post questions or frustrations about missing font errors in FrameMaker. FrameMaker reports missing fonts because it can be a big expensive deal if you miss the mistake when going to press.

Fixing the Missing Fonts Error This information is courtesy of Tim Murray. Check out his site: <a target="wander" href="http://www.techknowledgecorp.com">http://www.techknowledgecorp.com</a> and the Frame-specific help at <a target="wander" href="http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/help">http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/help</a>. The Problem <ul><li>You open a Frame file and the console reports that a font was not found, so another was substituted.</li> <li>You cannot generate a book because Frame tell you it can't properly open all the files.</li></ul> Load the font This is the obvious fix. "Don't care" solution In this solution, you are positive you never used the font, but even if you did, the substitution FrameMaker provides would be okay anyway. <ol><li>Close the file.</li> <li>Turn off the "Remember Missing Font Names" preference.</li> <li>Open the file (you will get the error again) and save. </li> <li>The next time you open the file, the message will be gone.</li></ol> "Programmed" solution Here you want to substitute the missing font for one that is different than the choice FrameMaker provides. <ol><li>Turn off the "Remember Missing Font Names" preference</li> <li>Exit FrameMaker.</li> <li>In a text editor (notepad.exe), open the maker.ini file.</li> <li>Edit the ini line "DefaultFamily=". In most cases it is Times New Roman, Times, Tms Rmn. Insert the font of choice at the front. For example:</li> DefaultFamily=NewCenturySchlbk, Times, Times New Roman, Tms Rmn You don't have to have anything after the first item, but it doesn't hurt. <li>Remove the changed font from your system either by turning it off in ATM or removing it from your Fonts folder.</li> <li>Add the new font. </li> <li>Open the FrameMaker file. FrameMaker's console should report that your original font is missing and the new font was substituted.</li> <li>Save the file. The change is done.</li></ol> When Font Errors Interfere with Books and Updates You may be in a situation where you need to do an update, but in order to do so you would have to override the fonts . . . but you would rather not, because doing so would mess up the design. The solution is to open the file or files that are missing the fonts; if the affected files are open during the generate, you won't get the "cannot open file" error message. If you need to open all the files of a book, you do NOT have to run down the book list and open each one separately. Instead, you can simply Shift+click or Ctrl+click the files you want (and a Ctrl+A, in Windows, selects the whole list). In FM6 and earlier, press Enter. In FM7, right-click > Open. Each file will open (but, of course, you may have to acknowledge missing font messages). Also, you can open all files in the book at once this way: <ol><li>Make the book file active in FrameMaker--so it is in the foreground.</li> <li>Shift+click the File menu selection, in the menu bar.</li> <li>Shift+clicking File gives you book-level options in the File menu, including "Open All Files in Book."</li></ol> Thanks again to Tim for the information used here.

How can I export an iMove Project if the Event file was deleted? (Missing Media error message)

Deep iMovie question:
I accidentally deleted various EVENT files from my iMove EVENTS folder. Yes, they are really gone ... this is NOT a matter of restoring them from the trash.
The projects are still there ... I can still watch the projects as long as I am in iMovie ... but if I try to export the Project I get the MISSING MEDIA error message.
Logic tells me that if I can view the project ... the file has to be SOMEWHERE inside my computer ... else I couldn't be watching it ... right? I mean what am I watching if not some file somewhere which has moving pictures stored in it?
So HOW do I get to something I can export? What am I watching when I watch the project?
I have iMove 08 on iMac with OS 10.6.8
Normally works great for my simple needs ... except if you move or delete an event file ...
Can anyone out there help?
thank you,
Natasya

If you don't have the original files then I'm afriad you don't have anything to work with.

"Missing Disks" Error Message - Unable to open FCP

Every time I tried to open FCP, a "missing disks" error message shows up and prevents me from opening the application. It says, "To preserve the integrity of the date used by Final Cut Pro, it is necessary to ensure the existence of the following path(s):" and it says "Macintosh HD is offline." There are two options for the error message, "Check Again" or "Reset Scratch Disks." When I click "Check Again," nothing happens. When I click, "Reset Scratch Disks", it takes me to a "Scratch Disks" window, which shows, "9.8GB on Macintosh HD is offline." I click "OK", but it only takes me back the same "missing disks" error message. What should I do to solve this error and open FCP?
Thanks in advance.

Hi -
If you are mid-project, then first I would find your project file and make a duplicate by Control-clicking on it, and selecting Duplicate. You can rename that new file so it is easy to remember. Once that is done, you have a protection back up of your project file so that whatever happens, you can recover back to this point in your project by opening the duplicated file.
Selecting (or Re-Selecting) a Scratch Disk does not affect what has been done in a project's past, it will only affect what FCP will do once it is launched and where it will place media and renders as you go forward.
A bigger concern/interest to me is why the disk Macintosh HD is offline, since Macintosh HD is usually the name of the internal system disk on your computer.
Have you renamed your internal hard disk (either intentionally or unintentionally)?
Do you have external disks connected to your computer?
Have you installed any new software - like Snow Leopard, or Fusion?
If you have had the disk Macintosh HD selected as your scratch disk all throughout your project up to this point, it is likely that the disk Macintosh HD has your captured footage and renders. So . . . if it is off-line as a scratch disk, once you reset your scratch disk to an available drive and open your project, it is likely that the project will show that all your media, which it previously associated with the missing disk is offline as well.
If that is the case, you will need to reconnect your media and re-render your renders. This can be done by selecting your offline clips and Control clicking on one of them and selecting Reconnect Media . . .
*If you are not feeling confident about proceeding, I would recommend a trip to an Apple store to get someone to walk you through the process.*
Hope this helps.

Saving as .IDML does not fix missing plugins error message

Hello,
I am having trouble rectifying a "Missing Plugins" error message.
I create an InDesign file using CS5 and am providing the file for a client of mine who is using CS3. I have saved the file as an .IDML to ensure it is reverse compatible.
When attempting to open the file, my client receives the following Missing Plugins error.
Missing Plugins:
WorldReady.InDesignPlugin
Dynamic Documents.InDesignPlugin
Conditional Text.InDesignPlugin
My client's version of CS3 and my version of CS5 are both "up to date."
Any additional suggestions to fix this issue so that I can provide a file my client can open?
Many thanks in advance.

If you have CS4 you can open the IDML there and export it to INX but to
expect a perfect translation would be a stretch.

Missing fonts error even though fonts installed

Hi,
At work we use Gill Sans as our corporate font. These fonts have been installed in Windows (and I can see them in Control Panel > Fonts). Yet, when I open a file with these fonts I get a Missing Fonts error with Gill Sans font missing. My colleagues don't get this error, and I have checked that the same fonts are installed on their machines. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
- Is your font appearing in the 'Find Font' dropdown list?
- Is the document you're trying to open one you created yourself or is this coming from some other office?
(If so I'd advise to get a packaged document so you can use the exact fonts initially used and see if that makes a difference)
- What version of InDesign are you running and what version was the publication created in?
It could be that your font is not the exact same one that was used to create the document.

Thumbnails appear but missing file error message if try to open

PSE worked fine for 2 months, when downloading to Shutterfly organizer crashed. uninstalled and reinstalled-problem persisted. Set up new user/administrator and organizer would open but with "missing file error message" if tried to open thumbnail picture. Then unistalled pse8 and reinstalled pse6. Still get missing file error, but again I can see the thumbnails. I had at one point 5000 photo's and deleted 3000 to reduce clutter using the delete from harddrive option when I did so. Now I once again have 5000 photo's cataloged ?? At this point I would be happy to simply get pse6 working as it should, any suggestions please. I have a lot of time and knowledge invested in PSE and I hate to cop out to Picassa at this point ?

I'm slowly getting this mess untangled. It seems that on the reinstalls of pse8 following organizer crash that even photo's that were previously deleted from both catalogs AND harddrive must still keep a thumbnail version hidden in some file somewhere. when I used the delete option in the missing file dialog I was able to remove them from the current catalog. It seems as though after too many software upgrades and photo's copied and saved through the years, you might as well by a new computer and mke a fresh start. But then again I'd just have to deal with windows7 and pse8 compatibility issues anyway. D@&D if I do, D@&D if I don't scenario !!

Font Error Message While Editing a PDF File with Acrobat XI Pro

Hello,
I have Acrobat XI Pro running on Windows 8.1
I scanned a PDF File and then went to "Tools - Text Recognition - In This File - Edit - OutPutStyle ClearScan etc etc" and got the file into "Edit Mode".
When I replace a "number/digit", the replacement digit font is "very small" and there is a "Yellow Triangle" error message which says the following.
"The Original Font Fd 3168 is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font "Minion Pro" font in its place.
Anybody know how to overcome this error message/problem OR alternatively how do I change the FONT of the whole page to some other Font?
Also how do I find a "similar or equivalent font" for Fd 3168 font that Adobe Acrobat says, is not available.
TIA

Hi Bill. Thanks for replying.
Unfortunately, I don't have the option of using the original DOCX file. The author lost it, leaving only the pdf around
I'm using AA XI 11.0.06. Upgraded this morning. That's running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
I get the boundary boxes by clicking on the 'edit text and images' tool, and they appear. Or don't in this case
I only need to change a few characters in the file. However, even just opening up the file in AA and then saving, the "A = " "text" gets deleted.
Could it perhaps be something to do with embedded or missing maths fonts on my machine? I mean, I don't get any warnings, just can't do anything with the A and AB italic bold text.
Thanks!

Export command do not show missing font error

Our plug-in is using the SDK's PDFExportCmd to export InDesign file to PDF.
Every thing works fine, except we got into a serious issue when one of the Font is missing in the Indesign file.
When an InDesign file having missing font is exported it successfully converted to PDF without reporting any error, by replacing the missing font with default font!
The PDF preset used has following properties but looks like InDesign completely ignore these property.
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Warning
or
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Error
or
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Ignore
Please note that when same InDesign file is exported using InDesign's Export... it reports the error message saying Font is missing!
Are we missing something?
Is there some properties that need to be set while exporting to PDF?
Or is it a serious bug in PDFExportCmd?
Alternatively is there a way to validate the InDesign file before exporting?
(I saw the api IExportValidationCmdData, but there is no documentation on it usage.)

There is no difference in the contents of the trial of iWork you get with a new Mac or with iLife '06 & the retail box.
I've learned not to delete any of the fonts that come with Apple apps any more because of things like the error you got. It's odd that a Pages document is using that particular font. I have two copies of that font on my G5, one in the main fonts folder & another in a folder of fonts that came with AppleWorks. The one in the AppleWorks folder has an Apple version 3.3 © & a date of 2000. Both have an Esselte Letraset © with a date of 1990.

Missing font error

Using Illustrator 10, I open an old AI file and see the error message "this file uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified", and mentions "Myriad Bold", which is not (visibly) used in the file.
It then gives me the choice of replacing the fonts or cancelling.
But this replacement is temporary, I get the same error every time I open the file.
If I open "Type/Find font" it list the five fonts I do use in the file. Not including the "default" font, Times, which I imagined a missing font would be converted to. How can I find whatever object has this font problem and delete/change it?

How can I find whatever object has this font problem and delete/change it?
That's hopeless, as in fact there may no longer be any such object. The font may have been used to generate an element which was later converted, but based on what tool/ function was used, the reference to the font was not cleaned up. E.g. if the font was the current active font for a specific text field, it may persist even if the text was reformatted later. Likewise, symbols, charts and other stuff could still contain a link to the font. The best solution you can try, is to run the expand apperance on all elements you don't need editable, then copy everything over to a new blank document. This may clean out the internal data structure and resolve the issue.

Missing font error on PDF conversion

FrameMaker book that has been updated and converted with same set of fonts and styles many times will not convert to PDF on one machine. (I use a Mac running XP in Parallels for Frame, then Distiller Mac.) The error is "findfont" looking for Helvetica-Oblique. This and all needed Helveticas are present, and I've updated this machine's Distiller's PDF font settings to know where they are--to no avail. I have set Distiller to either warn and continue or ignore missing fonts.
This same file converts with no trouble on a second Mac with the same set-up. Acrobat distills with warn and continue, the substituted and/or non-embedded fonts clearly visible in the job log, through all 182 pages of the book.
Is the problem a corrupt font? Bad settings file (and where might I locate it to replace)? Something in what Frame is generating (.ps file)? Printer driver (Acrobat printer actually hangs on either machine)? Should I post this query to the Acrobat forum?
Thanks for any insight....
Karen Robbins

Forgive my erroneous terminology.... Yes, FrameMaker can open the files with missing fonts. No problem finding .ps files: I actually distill manually because Distiller is on the Mac. No, I am not using a default printer that lists Helvetica Narrow Bold as a built-in font. This font occurs in a file to which I import a large amount of tabular text that is preformatted by an MML file. We've been doing it this way for more than 5 years. This will probably make you cringe: Helvetica Narrow is not, and has never been, installed on the Windows side--only on the Mac side where Distiller lives.
There are now potentially two problems:
1) When FrameMaker is set to a printer other than Adobe PDF, a .ps file is generated and yes, I can see where the file chokes in Distiller; if I modify the suspect font on that page, the .ps file will distill up to the next instance of that font. This problem is correctly dealt with via warn-and-continue and/or substitution settings on a second machine with the same set-up as the one on which the problem occurs. Note: Using Parallels to run Windows XP, which uses an HP printer driver to reach my physical local printer (regardless of the make/model it happens to be). On the second machine, I have network printers and several different PPDs.
2) When the FrameMaker printer is set to Adobe PDF on the problem machine, no .ps file is generated because that printer does not find Helvetica Narrow Bold--apparently just as it should.
Because FrameMaker can generate .ps files and Distiller can distill them on a second machine with the same (apparent) set-up, from the same source material, I want to understand what it is about the fonts, or the font substitution instruction, that is possibly causing the problem. Or, perhaps adding an additional printer PPD (one that works on the second machine) to the problem machine could clear this up?
Thanks for more insight....

Get the "cannot extract embedded fonts" error message

I get the "Cannot extract embedded font 'UZNVZW+HElveticaNeueLTStd-Hv-Identity-H'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." error message when I generate a PDF from MadCap Flare or Frame Maker. I am on Windows 8 64-bit / Adobe Acrobat 11 / FrameMaker 9 / MAdCap Flare 9.
When I do the same task on a Windows 7 system, works like a whistle.
I am looking at a solution and no workarounds.

Hi hartmanja14,
Please let me know if this is happening with all PDFs or any specific document?
Also, tell me if that document has been created by any third party or not.

Ibooks author how to fix missing file error message

I have cut and pasted many jpg images into my iBook in iBooks Author. All the pictures appear to be displayed but whenever I open the iba file I get many error messages saying that many of the files are missing. How do I diagnose and fix this issue? Any ideas on how to debug or fix this would be appreciated.

Yosemite is not supported for Encore, but neither was Mavericks (even though it is on the list, I don't think it is truly "supported," and there were issues).
Many of the issues in Mavericks and Yosemite appeared to be permissions. Most Adobe apps need read/write access, and those were not the defaults for the OS.
Some Mavericks users reported the following fixes their problems - I eventually assumed that somewhere in the process, it was fixing permissions. But perhaps it does more:

Missing some error messages from the error stack

Hi all,
We use some PL/SQL code to load data in to the database.
One value was to large for a column.
I got the errors below, but there are some messages missing from the alert file and from the trace file.
Error messages:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column
That's it, noting else. I can't see anything else in the alert log either.
No trace files either.
Can someone please explain to me why am i missing the rest of the error stack, like the column name where the issue occurs?
Thanks.

Peter,
No your code won't work the same in 10g as it would in 9i and earlier. The -1401 exception is not secretly catching -12899 now. So that means it could be an upgrade issue: you'd have to manually change the code when upgrading to 10.
Here is a little test on 10.2.0.1:
SQL> create table t
2 ( id number(2)
3 , name varchar2(2)
