Missing Fonts in CS6 since installation
Since I have upgraded to CS6 some of my fonts are missing in Illustrator, PS and ID. The font are still on the system (in the Win Fonts folder) but the programs declare them as missing when I open files that use these font.
What can I do? I tried re-installing the fonts but that didnt help...
Where was the font before? Do you have the font file someplace avaialble? Adobe apps don't remove fonts from the system, and they do need to be installed someplace to be available for use. Although there are quite a few fonts included and installed for you automatically when you install CS products, Caflisch Script is not one of them. http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/fontinstall/cs6installedfonts.html

Missing Fonts from CS6 - Namely Myriad
I have many templates for my work with typeset in Myriad, not MyriadPro. When I run CS6, everything works fine. Then I run the same file in CC and I get a missing font message from TypeKit and my font is gone. See attached screenshots. Please, I really need help solving this issue, otherwise I have no reason to have CC.

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.

27" iMac (Mid-2011) 3.1 GHz i5

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. -
InDesign CS6 Middle East : default font substituted for missing font
Hello,
Message error from Indesign : Default font substituted for missing font
I am currently using version "InDesign CS6 Middle East," which normally supports the Arabic language ...
The problem is that the characters display correctly and others not! Especially this "font" called "MunaPlain", this version was created in 1996. (on the Internet, I could not find a new version!)
According to research, test... i have found that Mac OS X Lion that causes this error!
My question is:
Can I uninstall Mac OS X Lion and install an old OS version in my computer, for example MAC OS X Leopard ? Any solution please ?
Is there an update or plugin indesign for Arabic? (except ScribDoor, because in this case, it is useless)
Thank you!For questions regarding Adobe apps, it is probably really best to ask Adobe or use their forums:
http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa
I am amazed that an arabic font from 1996 would work correct anywhere today given the changes in technology that have occurred. Is it really not possible for you to use a modern Unicode Arabic font for your work? There are lots of them -- Apple gives you a half-dozen or so. And there is a list at
http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Arabic.html
Whether you can downgrade your os depends on your hardware. If it came new with 10.7 installed, then it is not possible. -
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 -
I recently updated my CS6 Creative Suite and since updating, I've had a reocurring issue with "missing fonts" in InDesign. I haven't changed typefaces I typically use (Avenir) and anytime I open a document that was created before I did the update, I'm prompted with a message that says the fonts are missing, with them listed as "Avenir (TI) 65 Medium" etc, when they were never used under that name/classification originally. Just the typename and style, i.e. Avenir Medium. Is there a way to reassign these fonts listed in these messages to the group of Avenir fonts I currently have, to avoid this from reoccurring constantly? It's extremely time consuming having to constantly find & change the fonts. HELP!
What operating system are you using? Are you using any font manager software?

I have a Photoshop document which uses some Fonts that I don't have on my Windows PC. When I open the document, I get a Dialog Box called "Missing Fonts", which states:
"Some fonts used in this document are missing. You can sync matching fonts from Typekit, or replace missing fonts with a default or different font used in this document"
This text suggests that I can only replace missing fonts with other fonts already being used in this document. However, I want to replace a missing font with a font that is not yet used in this document. Why can I only replace a missing font with another font already used in the document? For example, I want to replace "Helvetica Neue" with "Liberation Sans", however Liberation Sans is not offered in the Dropdown box, even though it is installed, as it is not yet used in the document. What is the point of only allowing to replace a missing font with a font that is already used in the document, and not with any font installed on the system??
Thanks,
best regards,
ChrisI'm a windows user so I do not know the Adobe Photoshop environment on the Mac or the versions of Mac OS. The only suggestion I could make would then be try using Adobe Cleaner to clean off Photoshop then install Photoshop Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Missing fonts in InDesign CS4 - even when 'open' in Suitcase Fusion 3
Hi all, I'm running InDesign CS4 on a Intel Mac Pro (tower), about 4 years old, running OSX Snow Leopard (all updates applied).
Using Suitcase Fusion V3 for font management.
I have a document that previously had no font issues at all. Now when I open it InDesign throws up a 'Missing font' error.
I have the correct fonts installed and 'open' in Suitcase Fusion.
The font is available in Simpletext and Pages, but not InDesign and Illustrator.
The troublesome font was OK the other day and has been since it was installed.
I've not changed anything that I'm aware of... but now InDesign won't 'see' the font.
In the 'Find Font' dialogue box the 'Path' says it's 'Unkown or missing'.
InDesign can see the other weights in the font family (bold, italic etc) but not regular. And yet the entire font family is in the same folder on my hard drive.
I've tried deleting all the' Adobe.lst' files. No Joy.
I've run Font Doctor on the whole font family, its says it's OK.
I've tried re-installing the font from a back-up. Nada.
If anyone has any suggestions..... feel free to let rip!
As ever, I await your expertise and unstinting knowledge in these matters And, needless to say, I'll be mighty appreciative for it!
RPHi Bob, strangely... I've put the troublesome font, Dax (T1) Regular, in the Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Fonts folder and it seems to be working.
Never had to do that before.
Would be great to get back to 'normal'. If possible.
Although I have many duplicates spread across back-up drives and collected artwork folders, I've also tried to eliminate any duplicate 'open' versions. But the above solution is the only one that works at the moment.
RP
p.s. I also tried removing any AdobeFNT**.lst files, (where ** is a number) before the above work around. That didn't work either. -
How to avoid missing font dialog box(alert) while running the script??
Hi....
In Illustrator CS4 ,I tried to skip missing font dialog box(alert box) by using the following script .But,I could not skip the dialog box
So if you have any suggestion about this let me know..
tell application "Finder"
set user interaction level to never interact
activate
set fileName to (path to desktop folder as string) & "fer11757_f1208.eps"
--set user interaction level to never interact
-- set user interaction level of script preferences to never interact
open file fileName
--set alert missing fonts to true
set user interaction level to never interact
activate
end tell
display dialog ("completed")
end tell
Thanks,
MubeenDoes this NOT error when run? Your target application here is 'Finder' Apple's system file browser and you are giving it Adobe illustrator commands?
Im not 100% about the versioning with Illustrator installs I think they are all just…
Tell application "Adobe Illustrator" -- No CS Versioning?
-- do stuff here
end tell
you could check by just picking the app from this list

Hello everybody
I have a font problem somwhere in the chain Powerpoint->PDF->InDesign. When i Import the generated PDF, InDesign is reporting missing fonts in it. Now, there is a difference in which and where the fonts are missing (11 vs 31 errors) depending on which way i use to generate the PDF
a) via "publishing as PDF" from Powerpoint 2010
b) via "Print as" using the PDF printer
When checking the PDF's, i can see that corresponding fonts were embedded into the PDF (it might be that there is some confusion about naming of these fonts. For instance, PDF reports an embedded font "Arial" with "Actual name: ArialMT" while Indesign is simply missing "Arial", without any further information except that it has the status "not embedded").
Strangely, there also are missing fonts that i can find nowhere in the Powerpoint file (But several people worked on this presentation). I tried several versions and installations of Windows/Powerpoint/InDesign, without luck.
Workaround for now is export all slides as PNG. Any ideas what i can do to solve this problem?
Many thanks for assistance,
AndreasPart of your problem is associated with PowerPoint 2010.
Microsoft's "save as PDF" leaves a bit to be desired at best.
Acrobat 9 (and obviously the earlier versions of Acrobat) do not support any of the Office 2010 components via the PDFMaker component.
If you print to the "Adobe PDF" PostScript printer driver instance from PowerPoint 2010 to create PDF, make sure you use joboptions that embed all fonts. The "out of the box" Standard joboptions do not do that. Try High Quality Print joboptions instead.
(The next full version of Acrobat will fully support PDFMaker with Office 2010! Even then, it will be critical to set joboptions that embed all fonts with no exceptions!)

Missing Fonts in Photoshop CS4
I opened an existing CS2 photoshop file in CS4 and I get a missing font error. The font that it can't find is on my system.
How do I "add" this font so PS can see it?
Thanks.Yeah, I hear ya. But this seems to be a big complaint with 64 bit systems. And since all fonts show up and work fine in all other programs... seems like another adobe bug to me.
If you want to be a bit specific, Arial has 10 types. Only two show up. Regular and bold. And I'm not alone with this problem.
This was a bug (from what I read) in office 2007. But I never used 2007. However it wasn't a problem in office 2003 nor is it with my current version of 2010. As I said, no problems whatsoever with anything except... photoshop cs4 64. (works fine in 32 bit vista)
Now, FWIW, I haven't played much with font directories in the past, but it seems win7 is putting them into their own... kind of "folder". (could be wrong)
That is, in arials case, for instance, they aren't spread out. As... arial normal, black, bold, etc. They seem to be all lumped in to one. Click on it and they all open for display and are all there but I don't remember them that way in older windows progs.
But as I said, everything is fine in notepad, wordpad, excel, word, etc. etc. etc. A corrupt font is one thing, but I can't see a corrupt font working in everything but one program. And they DO work in dreamweaver.
Ok... update. As I said, tried putting them (the arials) in the adobe font directory (which I said was empty). Nothing. Tried again and it duplicated them. Still nothing. Went in and dumped the duplicates... seems to be working.
So, problem kinda solved. Just no clue why.
I need a drink and a few excedrins. -
Missing fonts in PDF placed in InDesign
I was sent a PDF to make slight changes to it. Since the changes were so minor and relatively few, I thought it would be easiest to just place the pages of the PDF into an InDesign document and put white boxes over what needs to change.
I just noticed the Preflight panel says I'm missing Arial and Times New Roman which I know I have. I tried doing "Find Font" to replace the missing Arial with my Arial, but "Change" is grayed out so I'm thinking the fonts must not be properly embedded in the PDF.
I'm not sure if they have the original document the PDF came from (and if they do, it might be in Word). Is there a way I can fix this either in InDesign or with Acrobat?
Or, if I don't fix it, do you think that the missing fonts will not print properly?You might be able to embed these fonts properly in the PDF. It isn't always successful, but in Preflight, open the fixups section and use the selection as in the screen shot. Then relink/replace the PDF in ID.

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. -
Missing Font Helvetica Neue LT
Hey.
I've got a Problem with my Adobe InDesign CS6.
When i want to open a file it says there are missing Fonts.
The Fonts that are missing are:
Helvetica Neue LT LT 55 Roman
Helvetica Neue LT LT 75 Bold
Helvetica Neue LT LT 45 Light
So i looked them up in the Adobe store to buy them, but i can only find the Helvetica Neue LT STD 55 Roman/Bold/Light.
So now my question is, are these the same fonts?
Or where can i buy the fonts that are missing?
Thanks for your help.Your fonts have been old T1 fonts which are not supported anymore in modern OS, Win and Mac.
With InDesign you could use them for a while when you copy them into the Font folder which is found in the same folder as your InDesign program.
But I would strongly recommend to buy licenses of modern OTF fonts, these have often a Std or Pro added to their name. Pro have more glyphs and have in most cases support for Cyrillic, Eastern European (Czech, Poland, Hungarian, Turkish) and Greece alphabet, and complete math characters.
When you change to the modern OTF you will have to redefine your styles and check your text flow as some glyph might have a different metric. -
Help Please....Missing Fonts
After a recent archive and reinstall, I opened iWeb and received the message, "The following errors occurred while trying to open this document." Apparently, I am missing the following fonts:
CourierNewPSMT
Handwriting-Dakota
AcademyEngravedLetPlain
Palatino-Italic
I have searched the iWeb forum and from my understanding, I could delete the ats cache. However, do I delete the entire folder? Including the system folder within the com.apple.ats folder?
I have searched for the missing fonts in both the system/library/fonts folder and user/library/fonts folder, but could not find these missing fonts.
Can someone please help me resolve this issue, or, possibly, email me these missing fonts?
Thank you so much.

Those fonts should be on the system install disk that came with your computer. Download and run Pacifist to locate the font installation package on the system install disk and extract and run the font install package.
