Missing font in book file

I've been getting this missing font message when I open a book file:
The "Arial Black" Font is not available.
  "Arial Black Heavy" will be used in this session.
Why are there font references in the book file (see .mif excerpt below)?
Why am I getting this message when Arial Black is installed, and Arial Black Heavy is not?

  • 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 font in one file, but not another?

    In one document, I changed a section of type to Helvetica, then it turned pink. It says Helvetica is missing. I opened another document and used Helvetica with no problem. I closed InDesign, checked my fonts and used Helvetica in other programs. Reopeing ID, I copied the Helvetica type from the second file and pasted it in the first file, and now Helvetica works fine in the first file. What the heck?

    @OP
    Are you sure you really have that Helvetica installed & activated in your system? If you use InDesign CS5 or 5.5 and you have received documents as packages where used fonts have been stored in Document Fonts folder, you may use those fonts in indd-file that has been stored in the same root with Document Fonts folder. If you move your indd out of that root, certain fonts may stop working....
    I dont know if this causes your troubles, it´s more likely font management issue but still worth to check if nothing else helps you out.

  • Change missing fonts in multiple files CS4

    I am using InDesign CS4 and I have several dozen files that are missing fonts because of going from a Mac to Windows. I have approximately 20 documents open, so there are 20 "Missing Fonts" dialog boxes open. If I want to replace the missing fonts, which are pretty much the same in every document, is there a way to replace all the missing "Arial Black"s at once instead of having to replace each font in each document one at a time?
    I hope that makes sense?
    Thanks,
    Lloyd

    No prob, Lloyd. I meant to include some Handy Illustrative Screenshots but the work I'm actually getting paid to do kept getting in the way  Glad you were able to figure it out.
    Unfortunately, this method doesn't have the "Redefine Style When Changing All" checkbox that you get when you use the Find Font dialog. I usually wind up using this techinque with files I've not styled - e.g. when a designer sends me a package from a Mac with no styles and a bunch of 0k fonts that wouldn't support my target languages even if I did have a license for the font in the first place. In those rare occasions when I have to do this to my own well-styled docs, I made a key combo control-alt-shift-R "Redefine Style" so I could step through the doc and redefine all of the styles to the new font.
    Peter & Uwe, do either of you remember when using find/change for missing fonts started working? Was it new in CS4, or am I remembering PageMaker? Quark? I can't tell. I do remember a time a decade or so ago when I was manually stepping through a massive document made of thousands of individual frames, cursing my inability to search for missing fonts.

  • Replace missing fonts in eps files with scripts...how

  • Find missing fonts in AI file

    I am writing a VBA script to open and print a handful of AI files. It needs to detect any missing/substituted fonts in each file to alert the designers in an accompanying report.
    I tried creating a list of fonts using the TextFonts collection from the Application object when the application first opens, and then compared the list to the TextFonts after opening the file. This allowed me to detect the font differences between the two, but I have no way of knowing if the additional font was embedded in the AI file or substituted with another.
    Any ideas?

  • Unexpected quits, missing themes, missing fonts and broken file paths

    I created a project in iDVD 5 on the Powerbook at home, and then took the drive containing the project and all related files to my dad's office to burn it on his iMac G5 (the drive in the powerbook won't burn anything - separate problem). I put all the required files which were on the Powerbook's internal HD in a folder on the external HD, so that they could be reconnected at the office (when the "following files could not be found" dialog pops up).
    However, when I opened the project on the G5, from iDVD, it told me that at least one of the themes I had used could not be found. "Ok," I thought, "which ones are they?"; clicking the "show details" triangle, I got the following message:
    "The following themes, used by this project, are missing on your system:
    (null)"
    This occured a total of five times, before the "following files could not be found" dialog appeared. Some of them had been on my desktop or in my preferences on the powerbook, which I had copied into the aforementioned folder on the portable HD, but it could not find any of the movie files nor some of the image files, all of which had not changed position on the external HD since I started the project. I showed it where all of the files were, and then another message popped up telling me a font was missing. At this point it froze on the spinning coloured ball of death, before showing me an "unexpectedly quit" message. I have been through this so many times, even tried deleting the "com.apple.iDVD.plist" file, which didn't help. I am at a loss.
    iMac G5 Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2x 2 GHz Intel processors

    What version of iDVD is on your Dad's computer. Since you have posted in the iDVD 6 forum, perhaps it is iDVD 6? That may be your problem because I would NOT expect a project created in iDVD 5 (as you have done) to work in iDVD 6.
    If you had iDVD 6, I would have suggested you try creating an actual project archive out of iDVD (FILE>ARCHIVE PROJECT). The archive SHOULD contain all the elements you need to work on another computer.

  • Missing Fonts in my inDesign file...

    Just recently completed an inDesign file, but it is telling me it has missing fonts.  The file was originally started in CS4 by a coworker and completed by me in CS5.  I'm confused because the fonts show up in the file, but still are classified as missing.  I tried to send this file to print, but they could not print it because of the missing fonts.  If anyone could help me out, you would be doing me a huge favor.  Thanks everyone and have a great day.

    This is the one:
    It's Mac OS X very unhelpful 'unrecognized file type' default icon, and it might be anything, from an unrecognized file format (unlikely because OS X should recognize most font files) up to a damaged download.

    When I "find first" to see where the missing font is located, its on the first and second pages and it is the background graphics, which I think an outside party designed.  If I can't get the Berthold fonts to work, what should I do next?
    That's a problem on a different level. Is this in a placed EPS or PDF, or (sigh) even a placed InDesign page? Then it was up to the original designer to embed the fonts used into the image -- or, failing that, convert to outlines (which ought not to be necessary in a moderately modern workflow). About the only way to get it to work is to actually install these fonts on your system as well and hope it's the exact same version.

  • Missing Font Help... Please!

    Hi Guys,
    Hoping someone can help me out.
    I'm liasing with a designer who has supplied me an indesign file to fix up some copy.
    When I open the file I'm told that I'm missing a bunch of fonts. For example:
    Frutiger 66 Bold Italic
    Now I've installed the missing fonts using .otf files.
    So when I go to find font I can only navigate to Frutiger LT Std 66 Bold Italic.
    It replaces all the fonts and it looks the same to me??? Are they the sam? I used the exact ones but my version has LT std....
    Let's say they are the same, i just have a different version. Now the concern I have is when I give the file back the designer is now going to get the missing fonts message when they first open it up.
    Will it just be a case of them doing what I just did, but to their version of the font?
    Is there something I could do? Will this work okay?
    Apreciate any help or suggestions.
    Thanks

    Adobe still offers the old Type 1 versions of Frutiger at http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFontPackage &code=73 and Linotype offers Oepntype, Windows Truetype (which can also be used on OS X) and Windows and Mac Type 1 versions.
    You should check withthe agency to find out exactly which version and type they are using, and match the same version if you can (but thay may have a really old release, so it might not be possible, but matching the type of font would probably be a good idea).
    But to answer the first part of the question, yes, OpenType is newer technology (though under the hood the fonts are still either T1 or TT outlines, with fonts carying .otf extensions usually being T1) and just fine for print. OpenType fonts have larger glyph sets than the older versions so they often contain special characters, small caps, alternates, etc, that are not contained in the older fonts unless you buy "expert" or other "special" sets which is a nice bonus. Fonts with Pro in the name are more likely to have a lot of extras, though, than those that are called Std.
    Personally I no longer buy anything except OpenType fonts when there is a choice.

  • Flash CS3 - Missing Fonts Alert Dialog box not showing

    We seem to have lost the Alert dialog box when Flash CS3 Pro
    discovers there are missing fonts in a file. We still get the
    warning in the Output box but we get no Alert box to tells us
    actually which fonts we need to locate. This is happening
    regardless of file so it appears to be Flash issue and not a file
    issue.
    Anyone come across this before and anyone know how to fix?

    You need to make sure that the specific camera model is supported by the version of the ACR plug-in you have installed on your machine.
    The current version of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) is ACR 4.5 and there is also ACR 4.6beta.
    What version are you running and what camera generated your raw files?

  • Opening a legacy file in CC2014, the fonts in the file (which are loaded and accessible with Suitcase Fusion 6), won't display. I get the [Jensen text] font name indicating a missing font file. YET, when I make a new file, the fonts are available. Any ide

    Okay, that was a long title. Sorry about that.
    Longer version now. The font Janson Text is an old Type 1 Postscript font. If I make a new document in InDesign CC2014, this font is completely available to me. HOWEVER, if I open a legacy file that uses this same font, it shows up with the usual pink highlighting.
    I know the font is available to InDesign, because I made a new test document and set type with it.
    If I try using the Type > Find Font.. option to replace the 'missing' typefaces, InDesign won't let me, not recognizing the font that I just used in the new test document.
    I just tried exporting the defective file as an IDML file, then opening the IDML file. The font is now working properly.
    This is a real problem, as the file I'm trying to open is a book that we need to reprint. I now have to go through it page by page to see if any linebreaks have changed.
    WHAT CAUSES THIS, please?

    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?

  • Missing fonts warning when adding pages to a book

    I have a book with 13 documents added and 105 total pages. I have 10 master pages set up, and each time I add (or delete) pages to a document, I get warning: "The document <doc>.indd needs to be updated but has missing fonts. It may recompose with a default substitute font and result in inacurate page numbers. Do you want to continue updating numbering?"  If I click OK to continue updating the numbering, sometimes an extra page gets added somewhere else in the document. Preflight Book is not showing any errors and I also tried looking at the preflight panel in each of the 13 documents. Neither says anything about a missing font. How else can I find it? Thanks!

    It could be in overset text (though preflight should see that) or in a style not currently in use. Are you sure the priflight profile is looking for missing fonts, bucasue is really does sound like there is substitution ocurring. Also, have you looked in Type > Find Font.
    If none of that is fruitful, I'd try exporting each of the documents to .inx or .idml, then opening those and saving as new .indd docs. Add the new docs to a new book and see if you still get errors.

  • Missing fonts/printing files

    Hi there,
    Does anyone can give some advise? About why I am getting a messages on my screen when I am saving a Illustrator file, saying that I am missing two fonts.
    - I have tried to convert the text into outlines, but even though, is still showing me the messages of the missing fonts.
    -In the other hand, the printer in order to avoid the same problem, is asking for the next information:
    Please, send us the printing files (this is to say, all the information that our supplier needs to print the packs)
    Since we have got a part of this information (pdf attached), our supplier needs a file with the types to prepare the printing  process.
         The fonts required are : FrutigerLTCom-BoldCn and RilloHeavy
    Any ideas?

    well the font is not allow to be embedded unfortunately
    - I am using the CS6
    - My type fo file is Adobe Illustrator Artwork 16.0
    - I am missing the fonts when I am saving as a PDF file.I have been told that for them is easy to check the file in this way. Do you think I should change the way that I am saving it?
    Thanks

  • 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!
