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.

Missing fonts in iWork documents

My iWork apps keep giving me missing font document warnings when I launch Pages, Keynote and Numbers documents. This is a problem already reported by many other iWork users but I haven't found a satisfactory solution and I'm hoping someone here can help.
When launching an existing Pages document, I get this document warning:
Here's what I see in the Font Chooser. Helvetica has got some new variants like '.Light Oblique'. What the??
But if I quit Pages and then create a new document, I don't get any warnings. The Font Chooser also behaves as usual:
I've validated my fonts, deleted the font cache, repaired permissions in an attempt to fix the problem with no success. What should I do?

I'd like to add perhaps a slightly different perspective to this problem. I'm a graphic designer and use Insider Software's FontAgent Pro to manage all of the fonts on my machine. I use Font Book only to manage the few system fonts that are necessary to run the OS.
I keep the number of activated fonts to a minimum and regularly clean out the font caches to prevent any problems with all of the design apps that I use. I've done this for years and haven't experienced any font-related problems for a long, long time.
When I want to use Helvetica/Neue Helvetica (which is rarely), I use PostScript Type 1 versions of those fonts. I don't want to reinstall the dfont version of Helvetica, because that will create conflicts with the fonts in my commercial work.
Whenever I open or create an iWork document I get the Missing Font error mentioned in this thread. The new version of iWork lets me select a substitute font, but my choice never seems to "stick." Once I close the document and reopen it, the same message reappears. iWork seems to assume that every document must use the dfont version of Helvetica/Helvetica Neue, regardless of what I want.
Why can't I specify what font I'd like to use, and have it become the default for all of the iWork apps? Until Apple fixes this problem the whole suite will have to remain shelfware and I'll keep using Office. I'd prefer to use iWork, but at least Office doesn't insist on nagging me about my font choices.

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

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.

IWorks asking for certain missing fonts

Hi All,
I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this issue too: Every time I open a template on any iWork '08 program I get a message saying that "some warnings occurred" and when I review the warnings it's always about some missing fonts. One of the fonts that it looks for is Helvetica Neue. I never had this font installed as far as I know. Is it supposed to be on my system somewhere? I'm running OS 10.4.10 on a G5 PowerPC. I also use Linotype FontExplorer X to manage fonts on my system. I used to use Suitcase Fusion but it was giving me too many issues.
Other missing fonts are for example:
ArialMT
ArialNarrow
ArialNarrow-Italic
Arial-Black
AmericanTypewriter
Baskerville
Baskerville-Italic
Copperplate
Futura-Medium
Futura-MediumItalic
GillSans
GillSans-Bold
HelveticaNeue
HelveticaNeue-Italic
HelveticaNeue-Bold
HoeflerText-Italic
HoeflerText-Regular
MarkerFelt-Thin
So basically what I am asking is this:
1. Are the missing fonts supposed to be installed on my Mac somewhere? Were they shipped with OS X?
2. How can I replace them without having to buy them? The Helvetica Neue family is very expensive!
3. Are these fonts essential to the template's formatting, etc?
4. Can I replace them with other fonts?
5. How can I stop the warning message from popping up every time I use a template?
Thank you for any help in advance,
jenzvan

Yes, I get these messages often, as well. Only I see them most often in Numbers. I would like to be able to disable these silly notices, but there aren't any preference settings to disable much, if anything.

Missing custom iWork templates

Where are my missing custom iWork templates?
I run my business with these custom templates. They represent weeks of work and are irreplaceable.
Can't believe Apple did this to us.

In Pages, I see mine when I Pages->File->New From Template->[My Templates]
The menu choice is missing, but if I ⌥⌘N (option-command-N), the Template Chooser opens.
Also works if I press option while File window is visable:

"Princeton" font is missing from my new iMac. How can I obtain it?

A simple Internet search reveals a number of places to download it for free. By the way, the Princeton font is not a default included font with OS X.

Is there any way to bring back the font type and background of Safari reader from iOS6 in to the iOS7 ? I really miss it, the new design is awful, simple and has now class at all.

I agree with you, many things in the ios 6.x were more elegant. The reader was the most one of them. I think the ios7 wants to be the windows 8.

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.

"Here's what worked for me. I went to /Library/Fonts/ and saw one of the "missing" fonts, HelveticaNeue.dfont . I moved this file from the Fonts folder to my Desktop, and then I put it back in the Fonts folder."
"Maybe you've just disabled the fonts that Pages requests."
"I went over to my wife's computer...installed pages...
captured teh two missing fonts...emailed them to my computer...installed them in proper place and now all is well"

Safe easy method of changing fonts in a custom template :TIP

This might have been covered before but here is a tip I have worked out. If you have a custom template and you would like to change the font of any styles do the following:
Quit active applications
Go to the Library>fonts folder (both user and system) and move the font you would like to replace to somewhere safe. (eg desktop)
Open Pages and select the "my" template you want to change. Choose Review from the warning dialogue. Substitute the missing fonts with font of choice.
Save as new template (or overwrite the original)
quit Pages
return fonts to font folder
Done!!
This method obviously works for missing fonts and if the missing font is automatically substituted by Pages, ensure that font is temporarily removed too.

I was thrilled to see the font substitution feature in all of iWork. iWork'06 made it near to impossible to get rid of that error message and find the problem font. Well done Apple!
iWork '08 is awesome!

Document Warnings: Missing Fonts

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro with iWork 08. When I open a Pages template, I get an error message that tells me: "Some warnings occured. Would you like to review them now?"
If I click "Review," then I get a list of missing fonts.
Anyone else have this issue?

Hi Neil,
Welcome to Pages discussions.
Go to Applications>Font book.app double click. Look in there to see if the fonts are truly missing. If they are there click the font then File>Validate Font, file>Validate file. See if this helps you. Sometimes a message stating a font is missing it just needs to be validated.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
RicD

How to find missing fonts in Pages 5.0

When I open an older document in Pages 5.0.1, the application informs me that certain fonts are missing from my system. That's helpful to know, so I can reformat the text in question to use a different font. However, I cannot seem to find *what text* has the problem. How can I locate the affected content, so that I can update the font to a valid one?
Thank you.

I'm away from my computer right now but I believe there is a template for that.
Click New, select new from template, it should be there...

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.

Iweb missing font issue

When I open iweb I get a pop up window which tells me that there's a missing font CourierNewPSMT
Could someone tell me how to get rid of it, and it only happens in Freestyle template
I couldn't find CourierNewPSMT font anywhere

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..
