Missing Fonts and links

I lost all my fonts after the updates how do I get my fonts and missing links back?

I have this issue too. I am missing handwriting dakota which is only leased to Apple. According to the information researched all other download applications from the web are corrupt. I have these in the photobooks that I sell. I have just received an additional order for both a bride's and groom"s Mom. They want the same Font.

I'm trying to replace a missing font and apparently it's a graphic. It's not letting me replace with another font and click change. I can't export until it's fixed and I need to fix / bypass as soon as possible.

Go find the graphic in question, and open it in its native program. The problem will have to be fixed there.

Does Indesign CS4 recognize missing fonts in links?

Could anyone tell me if Indesign CS4 (or any version of Indesign) will recognize missing fonts used in a linked image? We have a customer that is using Indesign CS4 they have linked images from photoshop (no fonts in the photoshop images) and .eps files that were created using Easy Barcode Creator. Indesign is not seeing that the font is missing from the eps file (easy barcode reader), nor is there an error when exporting a PDF or print a PS. Preflight in Indesign doesn't detect this either. If I open the eps in Illustrator then I get a font missing error. I don't want to open all the files (supporting links) to find out if I have missing fonts. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I've been playing with this a little, and I get what you see, too with .eps files. Find font will list the fonts used in the links, but for the most part woen't tell you if they are missing (seems to know they're missing in placed .indd files, though). Not a whole lot of help, but at least it puts the list out front where you can see the fonts, and check to see what doesn't look familiar.
Maybe the scripting guys have some clever ideas.

Own fonts and links

I want to make an "open submenu on click" menu with use of
own fonts. With sifr3 I managed to get normal headlines and also
links as own fonts, but I it seems tricky with links and especially
with the submenu.. look at that:
Menu
with own fonts and
Menu
without own fonts.. Someown has tips how to do ? or tutorial
tips?

Thank you Tom, suspected as much.
I'm thinking of doing my master (MPEG-2 or H264) with Compressor, then moving the project to Adobe Encore CS6. Is that something that might sound logical to you? As what might be best out there in software for doing something like this?

Missing Fonts and Embedding Fonts

I've run into some strange behavior using Flash Catalyst, and I can't seem to find a solution.
I've created a project that uses a custom font. The font displays just fine in the design window, however whenever I open the project it says the font is "missing". Yet the font still shows up in the font list and is properly installed in my font directory on OSX.
Additionally, when I deploy the project to the web I select "embed fonts". When I load up the website, the font initially appears correctly, however hovering over or clicking on the text buttons changes the font to a default font in a very strange and unpredictable way. Here's the website for reference: http://www.neighbors-film.com
I believe this is related to FC being unable to find the font file, however I'm not sure how to tell it where the file is located.
Any suggestions?

Hey Mykill G,
To use preflight tool, you might need to go to Tools > Print Production > Preflight > PDF fixups > Embed fonts >Edit
Then, Edit Profile window will appear. In this, select Fonts under Embed fonts category and click 'unlock' from the right hand side.
You can now click on 'Add' button to add the desired fonts.
Also, You might check font permissions for Acrobat at the following link:
Additional License Rights, font permission list | Adobe
Please let me know whether your query is resolved.

Anubha

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.

Font and Link Formatting

I have made several posts where I have used bold headers. These appear fine in iWed but in Safari, only the first instance is bold. Also, link text is set to the default however in Safari the text is not a different color unless you roll over it.
And, I have comment turned on. While this was working for awhile, after a republish, the comments feature disappeared, while still set to ON in the inspector.
An example page is http://skarka.com/skarka/Blog/Entries/2009/12/4_NBComcast.html

you post-edited your pages to add google analytics code, that is the problem.
post-editing will cause problems with blog/podcast/photo commenting and attachment, this is a known issue from iweb1.
the only way around this problem is using javascript to add GA code to the page, it's an extra bonus because it only be done once (much better than) instead of post-edit after every publishing.

Missing font and alignment capabilities in properties box

We finally got an upgrade to our Dreamweaver & Fireworks from the original macromedia. I'm so lost with the changes, I had to build a "need it now" new page in Fireworks. I saw where someone said DW wasn't a WYSIWYG program, but that was why I originally bought and loved it and hadn't realized it had changed purpose. I want to be able to select text on my page and change the color or size of just that text. Why was it necessary to remove that capability or make it a major multiple choice in CSS? Is there a way to do this in the properties inspector

Sorry you're feeling so lost with the modern web standards. But frankly, a LOT has changed since DW MX days. The changes in CS6 are not about punishing users. They're all about keeping pace with best practices as defined by the W3C. To get the most out of DW you need a quick refresher course in CSS because that's where all the styles are happening now.
As a quick example, define a set of CSS styles:
CSS:
 p {
 text-align:left;
 font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif;
 font-size: 16px;}
/**re-usable classes**/
 .center {text-align:center}
 .red {color:red}
 .green {color:green}
HTML:
 This text is the default paragraph style
 This text is centered
 This text is centered and red
 This is default style this is green
 this is red and this is default style again.
Apply classes to text from the HTML Properties Panel (see screenshot). Choose one class or multiple classes.
Once you get all your CSS rules defined, it's a piece of cake to style your content in DW.

View all missing fonts and FontStyles

Hi everyone!
I have a problem with non-existing fonts in the document.
Here is the code that should display all the non-existent fonts. Not working
var usedFonts = app.activeDocument.fonts;
for (var i=0; i<usedFonts.length; i++) {
 if(usedFonts[i].status != FontStatus.INSTALLED){
 alert ("Not Instaled => " + usedFonts[i].fontFamily + " | " + usedFonts[i].fontStyleName);
Here is the code that works.
var usedFonts = app.activeDocument.fonts;
for (var i=0; i<usedFonts.length; i++) {
 if(usedFonts[i].status != FontStatus.INSTALLED){
 alert ("Not Instaled => " + usedFonts[i].fontFamily);
But I also want to the font style of output. How do I do?
Thanks in advance ...

I guess you can't get the fontStyleName property for a non-existing font. You can however use the name property which will give you both family and style separated by a tab. Then you can use for example the code below to get your desired output:
usedFonts[i].name.replace("\t", " | ")

OSX 10.6 and a missing font

I would be very grateful for a pointer here...
I updated my home iMac to OSX10.6, then up to 10.6.2
I left the machine and the upgrade seems fine. However, my daughter's Club Penguin game on the web won't show some of the type and I think a font has gone missing/ been messed up. All other writing appears ok but not the name/ password or some of the web textboxes
How do I find the missing font and re-install it? i am wary of messing with the fonts.
(I have a time machine backup ok)

You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:

You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks, and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:

Why is my mac missing certain fonts and not displaying some pictures, is just a little blue box with a question mark in it?

When I open documents it always comes up with warnings that I am missing fonts and some cannot be replaced.
Also now I am noticing that some pictures are now missing and are replaced by a small blue box with a question mark in the middle. Can anyone
tell me what is going on and how I can fix this?
Confused and frustrated,
Amanda

Do you get a dialog box if you control click the missing image.

ATM Light and Missing Fonts in Designer

When I try to open pdf files created on my computer in Designer, it suggests that all of the fonts are not in my system and wants to replace them. Of course they are there, they were just applied to text in the design program before I made the pdf file. I have ATM Light installed to manage fonts on my Windows 2000 computer. I'm wondering if others with ATM Light see the same behaviour. I've read that fonts need to be in the system fonts or designer subdirectory in order for them to be used by Designer. With ATM Light, I am able to store fonts anywhere on my computer and have Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc use them with no trouble. Is this not the case for Designer?

For some reason i tried booting in safe mode before i wanted to reinstall things. And in safe mode everything was ok, all the fonts were working, menus were ok etc.
So i went back into normal mode and it looks quite ok, but context menus are still missing fonts and even more odd... when i'm in fontbook for example the finderbar has the default font, but in safari and finder itself the font changes to something old again.
I'm kind of scared to reinstall and archive things because i have lots off settings for wireless printers and internet locations on my mac school set for me. And i think i cannot really move those files back and let them work after the install...

Missing Fonts from Imported PDFs

I have a document that has several PDF documents "Placed" in it. When I go to print, it tells me that I have missing fonts.
From Find Font, I can see the missing fonts and what PDF they came from. Only, Find Font won't let me substitute it.
I can't change the font on the PDF either since it was not made by my department.   I've tried Placing with and without a Frame. Tried embedded and linked.

I totally agree. I'd be a lot less stressed if that's how things were done here. We are a State University who's funding suddenly got cut. Work study students are cheap (though not as cheap as fixing up any messes they make). It's also cheaper to hire people who don't have complete training.   Every program I use, I've learned on my own. I'm at least smart enough to ask questions and read the manual. When training that my employers can afford (i.e., free) comes up, I attend. The only saving grace of Aspergers - I learn programs (and programming) quickly - maybe not as efficiently as you - but better than those around me. I at least knew about embedding fonts, linking graphics and packaging (my old days on Mac OS7 with PageMaker and Photoshop)
And at least I can read instructions.   "Place missing fonts in the Fonts Folder, which is located in the InDesign Application Folder." - Adobe Manual
I just looked. The folder is empty. And I gave them a print out of the instructions.
As for the Plug-in I asked to have installed "Missing Fonts Loader", they just dumped the plug-in into the Plug-in folder and didn't bother to read the "how to install" instructions. IT must have sent a work study student. Every time one touches my computer, something goes wrong or missing. Once they even installed the same program twice - 1 per partition.
Thank goodness the 'work around' did actually work. I'll will be working on fixing the problem the correct way, but I have to has this project ready now - not months from now.

InDesign CS6 + Yosemite + Copy/Paste = Missing font

We use ITC Franklin Gothic throughout all of our pieces; it's installed and it's the default font setup. New and existing files have opened without issue until now. I opened an advertisement that needed to be resized, from our shared server and copied the contents. In a new document, I pasted the contents suddenly the font says it's missing. The images retained their links to the packaged folder on the server, the fonts just stopped working. I closed InDesign, then disconnected from the server in case there was some kind of conflict between the local font and the server font override from the packaged fonts folder (packaged from the local font installed, I made the source ad this same way). Loaded the new file, and got the expected missing links dialogue, but unexpectedly the fonts were still missing. I reviewed the missing fonts, and it was the entire family. I opened Suitcase, verified the fonts are active. Still no fonts in InDesign. Okay, disactivated font in Suitcase (maybe it needs an update), installed the font in Fontbook, need to get the ad done and I don't have time for this. Verified font works by opening a different file, making a new document, but as soon as I opened the ad with the missing the fonts, fonts go missing. I then changed the fonts to a different family, and tried changing them back, but the font doesn't even show in the list of fonts. I can't figure out why this particular method of copy and paste breaks the font. I've opened and created other files with this font family active, while this copy/paste file is open at the same time in another tab while it still says "no". The only work around I could use was to copy the entire packaged folder from the server to my desktop and just change the document properties to the size I need, then adjust the artwork to fit.
I'd like to find a resolution as to why copying and pasting broke this font even though the same missing font works fine simultaneously in a different document. Any suggestions/questions/thoughts/solutions would be very welcome.
System specs:
27" iMac (Mid-2011) 3.1 GHz i5
32 GB RAM
1 GB Video
10.10.2
Adobe InDesign CS6 8.1
Update: Looking through the font list, Franklin is being listed as a different font. Though the character palette, the font selected is ITC Franklin Gothic Std Book; the font listed in the Type drop-down menu is Myriad Pro, and once that was deactivated, Helvetica.

i don't see how that could be the case because I originally installed the font, created and packaged the ad, and the font is available for typesetting in a new document while this problematic document is open without being connected to the server.
I upgraded to creative cloud 2014 and this particular document is still a problem. This font issue is limited to this sole document. I'm guessing it has something to do with the copy and pasting. Tomorrow, I'll try replacing the font to something else and then copy/pasting it in the same way if it recreates the same problem with a different font.

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.
