Missing font in iWeb template

I'm new to iWeb but am not new to Apple's. I've been experimenting with the Doodle template and whenever I launch iWeb an error message comes down saying that there is a Missing Font which is Handwriting-Dakota. The only option it gives me to resolve this is to find this font and put it in the font folder. My questions are these:
1. Where can I go to download and replace this font because apparently I've deleted it or something?
OR 2. Where do I need to get to inside iWeb to maybe replace the default font for that template?
Please help! I'm driving myself nuts.

I think it's still worth trying to figure out why the font disappeared in the first place. I've seen several posts on missing fonts but no one has yet to determine why they go missing. (at least, not in the threads I've read

Missing font in iweb 09

When I open a page in i web I get an error message saying 'substituted font' the font Cooper Black was substituted for the missing font CooperBlackMS.
It says to add missing fonts add them to your fonts folder and then quit and re open i web.
How do I add these fonts(where do I get them from) to add them to my fonts folder?
Thanks

Hi,
I suddenly started getting messages in iWeb that said the Font "ArialMT" is substituted for the missing font "Arial".. But it was only happening on new pages I had created.. Can't say what had changed much on my system for this to occur.. But had me baffled because FontBook HAD Arial and NO ArialMT..
Anyway to cut a long story short.. I didn't want Arial as the font anyway as we're changing over to Verdana.. It didn't matter if I selected all on the webpage and changed it all to Verdana, i'd still get the error message regarding ArialMT and Arial..
So my fix was to navigate to: ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
1. Copy the file "Domain" somewhere else as a backup (desktop is good)
2. Right click on the "Domain" file inside ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ and Show Package Contents
Now this is where many people say open index.xml.gz and look for the problem fonts.. Well in my experience index.xml doesn't have any code regarding fonts.. SO another folder caught my attention inside "Domain" called "domain-0B29016B-4545-4DC4-9DDB-74AA1E25AJ34.. If you have this folder it will probably have a different string of letters and numbers to mine..
3. Go into your "domain-xxx etc" folder and navigate down to the first compressed xml file you can fint.. I had like 30 because I have almost 30 blog type pages in my site (just the way its designed I guess).. Anyway if you uncompress the .xml.gz file you've found and open that in text edit you'll probably be able to find font information in there.
As I had many to have to find and replace on I found it easier, to select all the .gz files and open them all together which mass uncompressed them in their relative locations.. Then I had to go through and delete the original .gz files otherwise iWeb won't save and publish the code changes you make. In otherwords, you need to have ONLY .xml files left over and iWeb will recompress them when you save in iWeb next.. I also used dreamweaver to mass find and replace the code, but textedit can do it one by one.
Hope this helps anyone having this issue..
I know if I went and made a brand new page in iWeb it will get this font issue again on the new page.. So my next task is to find the original template files and change the font instances in it so new pages don't cause headaches..

Missing font in iweb "seville"

Trying to edit iweb from 2nd mac, I transferred domain.site2 from original mac (where everything looks fine and is editable)to a thumbdrive, then dragged to corresponding folder on my second mac. When iweb opens the "seville" font is missing. I looked in the font folders and it is nowhere to be found

Thank you for your help.
I understand it "should be on that machine too".
That is the problem. It's not.
Yes, the font shows up on other computers as well. Because I used "seville" and it is NOT a web safe font I had to use the trick where you apply shadow to the text and basically make it a picture file in iweb.
At home I have the last gen mac mini. I used to keep my G5 tower at work and edit the iweb page between the two by transferring the domain.site2 file with a usb stick. Had no issues.
I sold the G5 and have replaced it with the newest generation iMac. This is the machine that is not locating the "seville" font.
When opening iWeb the page loads but as soon as I click on one of the pages to edit it says "Missing Font" "Seville". "To include missing fonts, add them to your fonts folder, then quit and reopen iWeb".
I have 30+ pages and use the Seville font as a link on EVERY page. It is NOT an option to use another font. Can't I just download the font from apple and put it in the folder? This seems like it should be really easy...
Is the Seville font incompatible on new iMacs? That doesn't seem likely. By the way, my page loads accurately when I open it on the internet from the new iMac
Thanks in advance

Missing font in iWeb

hi all, every time i start up iWeb i get a message telling me i have a font missing, "MaturaMTScriptCapitals" it then tells me "to include missing fonts, add them to your fonts folder etc", i found my FONTS folder which is empty, underneath it is a folder named Font Collections, there are no clues where i might find this missing font. where did it go ?. and how do i get it back sufficiently to stop this annoying message, please.
tim

Tim,
First, I know little about iWeb and less about the Font Library, however, my Matura MT Script Capitals font resides in Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts > Microsoft > Matura Script Capitals.
This would lead me to believe that it got added by Microsoft Office products I have loaded.
The font must be used in some project you last opened. When you get the error, is there an option to check to dismiss and don't show the message again?

Modify default font of iweb template

Hi there,
I'm using the dark room template for my website, but i'd like to change the default font of the blog (Futura) to Lucida Grande.
It was very easy to modify fonts for the new blog entries but any possibility to modify the dark room "blog" template to have lucida grande as default.
Thanks for your help.

Missing fonts when opening iWeb.

When reopening iWeb after making a website succesfully the day before, all my 'fun' kind of fonts that came with my iMac (like Handwriting-Dakota; PortagolTCTT, etc.) are missing. I haven't deleted anything and don't understand how that's possible. Does anyone had the same problem and what is the best thing to do and how did that happend are my questions.
I appriciate any helpfull feedback. Thanks.

Yep, I had the same problem. It disappeared upgrading 1.0.1 but it seems to be a real bug. Maybe are you using a font manager like Suitcase or Font Agent Pro that could generate conflicts.
For now, it is fixed. So if the missing fonts pb goes on : restart your computer, create a new iWeb document (removing anywhere the iWeb folder from Home/Librairy/ApplicationSupport/iWeb) and try again : don't worry about the "Domain file", iWeb creates a new one when you launch it. The try again with that "virgin" document.
If nothing works, you can reinstall iWeb.

Upgraded to CC from CS5.5 now all Illustrator templates have a 'missing font' (myraid-Italic). How can I fix this without replacing the font?

Replacing the font is not an option. This would mean resaving thousands of company files.
Also, none of the templates use Myraid Italic. They were created with Myraid Roman.
This has never been an issue when upgrading to other versions of Illustrator.
Every file I open will pop-up with the missing font notice; this is very annoying when checking numerous files (I have to click okay everytime for the file to load).

I actually have a fairly simple solution to this for Windows 7. Don't mess with your registry or delete other fonts. Go into c:/windows/fonts. Check to see that you have the set of fonts "Segoe UI". Inside this set are 6 Segoe fonts:
Regular (segoeui)
Regular Italic (segoeuii)
Bold (segoeuib)
Bold Italic (segoeuiz)
Semi Bold (seguisb)
Light (segoeuil)
You may not have them arranged in a set, but just check that you have all of them.
Make sure programs (i.e iTunes) are closed.
If you don't have the fonts, find them on the internet, ask a friend to copy and paste them, send them to you etc. They are easy and free to get. Download them to your desktop. Right click each one and "Install".
If you already have them in your fonts folder (my problem) do this: COPY (not cut) them from your c:/windows/fonts folder to your desktop. Close windows explorer. From your desktop, right click each one and "Install". You will get a message that they are already installed and do you want to install a newer version or some such. Say "Yes". They will get re-installed.
Open iTunes and you should have all your text back!
*Based on a sample of one - hopefully it works for you.

Missing Font for templates

Yesterday I tried to use some templates that I've used numerous times before, without a problem, and now Pages is telling me that fonts are missing, and that I need to reinstall them in order to use the templates. It's basically telling me this for every template. Can anyone help me out? Is this a bug? How do I locate these missing fonts, and how do I install them again? Thanks!

I would say that it happens so often to people that it is a bug that Apple does not handle the case better. However, I never had the problem myself, and there often seem to be some sort of logical explanation. I copy some links to earlier discussions on the topic and some comments, which apparently were helpful - at least when they were in context.

IWeb 09 - Missing font BellGothicStd-Bold

Hi,
I created a site (Treasure theme), but everytime I open it I got message : Missing font BellGothicStd-Bold. Any idea why?
Thanks in advance.

Open Font Book, locate the font and deactivate it. Then reactivate it. Launch iWeb and see if you still get the message.
I have no Treasure theme in my iWeb. Is this a 3rd party theme that you installed? The BellGothicStd font is not a Web Safe Font and, as such, will not be viewed the same on computer that do not have that font installed. You can convert any text boxes using that font into an image by applying a drop shadow at 5% opacity. However, that will keep the text from search engines and add to the "weight" of the page for loading.
Is your site published on line? If so what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?

Missing fonts in new iWork templates?

Most of the new iWork templates I bring up cause alerts to sound that they contained fonts, which are not on my system.
Shouldn't Apple only use fonts in iWork templates that are included with Macs?
Anyone else have this problem??? Very annoying!
Thanks.

This has been an ongoing problem for quite a few users. Several things have been suggested that have worked for some users but not others. The most extensive thread I've found on the problem is this thread, especially this post which found the problem to be a cache issue. It's not at all unusual for caches to become corrupt. I periodically run a utility to run the UNIX cron routines & clean caches. I prefer YASU because you can’t delete something you shouldn’t as you can with OnyX.

Can't get error message to stop appearing, missing font...

I just updated to osx 10.5, and ilife 09 at the same time. I'm working in iWeb, and my previous sites have imported fine, and are uploading great, but I keep getting a message that I'm missing a font. Every time I click on a different page in my site I get the message, and even after I click continue and click on another page then come back, I get the same annoying message. The font is ArialMT and it seems to be the font that is the default for the template called "white".
My question is how do I get the error message to stop appearing. I would replace the font but I do not have it. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I have Arial Rounded MT Bold in my fonts list but not in my fonts folder. Its copyright © 1993, Monotype Typography ltd. It appears to be a Microsoft font. I must trash it in case it pollutes my Mac!
Its sitting in a CD artwork folder and I must have imported it from somewhere at some time.
Have you tried deleting the iWeb preference file - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist and restarting your Mac to see if that will fix it.
The default font in iWeb is Arial Regular.

Missing font/substituted font in nav bar

I cannot seem to get rid of a rogue font on my site. It appears to be in the Navigation Bar that is part of the Modern webpage template (see script code below). This text box is not editable in iWeb as far as I can tell. Each time I go to a page in IWeb, I am prompted for the "missing font" Helvetica Neue H107. I got fed up with this so I added the font in FontBook and now it promts me still but for an error on the "substituted font".
Help!
<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[//><!]]></script>

Helvetica Neue is one of the basic system fonts and is used my many iApps. Open Font Book and check to see if it is listed. If it is, deactivate and then reactivate it. See if that will solve the problem.
If you don't have it listed in Font Book do a search for it on your HD. If you find it double click on it to install.
If it's not found on your HD you can extract and install it from your system disk with Pacifist or download it from Toad's Cellar and install.

Missing fonts in FrameMaker 9 even after installing Adobe Type Manager

Hi,
We are using Formata family fonts in our templates. We import the templates and don't see the font family.
We then installed the Adobe Type Manager and tried reimporting the template. No results.
We then edited the makers.ini file and added the Formata font in DefaultFamily, still we see the font as missing in the Paragraph Desiger and Catalog.
Any help in this regard is appriciated.
The FrameMaker version is 9 on Windows XP.
Thanks,
Mrini

Hi Mrini,
I need not the ATM on Windows XP or higher to install a font.
1. Open the \Windows\Fonts folder
2. Drag and Drop the font file otf, ttf or pfm (for ps fonts).
3. Then the font is available for Windows and for the applications.
4. Test it with Word and FrameMaker to choose this new font.
Additional information for FrameMaker and the maker.ini:
FrameMaker can differ Weight, Angles, Variations, Windows Weight and Angles only.
Indeed you can define the correct Family Name with information to the Windows font name and information.
That isn't longer important if you use FrameMaker on Windows platform, but it can be a great challenge
if you also work with Adobe InDesign.
InDesign works default with the correct Font Family name with Weight, Angles, Variations.

How do I recover missing fonts?

I have Appleworks 6 (original disc for SYS 9 + online update for Panther (6.2.9).
Recently I discovered that some of my original fonts are missing, in particular Palantino. How might I go about recovering this font without losing my custom templates, etc.? It does not show up in any of my font libraries, but it DOES show up in Appleworks 6 on my other user's account when Appleworks is launched in his setup, although it does not appear to show up in any of his font libraries either.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
SML in Mpls.
G4 (sawtooth) 400mHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Palatino is a font that has been installed with the Mac OS as far back as I can remember (System 7.0 in 1992). As a matter of fact, I have Palatino in both my OS 9 System Folder/Fonts & HD/Library/Fonts. Font Book in OS X shows both & their locations by "hovering" the cursor on the font name. Is it possible that Palatino is in the other user's Home > Library > Fonts. This would make the font available only to that user.
As far as AppleWorks opening the templates, it will open them, but substitute any missing font.
