Hi Garry,
You may get more help if you post this question in the iPad forum.
Perhaps you could repost your question here: Using iPad or if you like, I can ask the Hosts to move this thread to that forum.

Missing font in numbers

I created a spreadsheet in numbers on my mac and just entered one number in one cell with the font helvetica.
I then opened the spreadsheet on my ipad with no problems. I then closed the spreadsheet on my ipad and reopened it on my mac.
I then went to a neighboring cell and entered another number in the font calibri and saved the spreadsheet to the cloud.
When I opened the spreadsheet on my ipad I get the "Some changes were made to your spreadsheet" message saying the font calibri is missing.
Of ourse I can open the spreadsheet by clicking on open and the calibri text is converted to helvetica(calibri).
I closed the spreadsheet on the ipad and reopened it on the mac and changed the calibri text to helvetica.
No matter what I do, including deleting the column that the calibri cell was in, I cannot get rid of the spreadsheet details and error message. What can I do to be able to open a spreadsheet without getting the missing font message?
Also, I have a spreadsheet with 10 tabs on it that does the same thing. Is there any way to find out which cells have calibri in them.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

I have found a little more detail about the problem.
I made another spreadsheet on my imac with the helvetica font in one cell and the charter font in another cell, closed it and then downloaded the spreadsheet from the cloud and opened it. Instead of the "some changes..." message, I got a box saying "Downloading fonts and assets" Then the sheet opened with no further problems or messages.
I tried it with the century font on my mac and got the dreaded "some changes..." message.
It appears to me that some fonts will download and some will not.
However, once the switch is tripped about a missing font, it apparently cannot be reset.

Numbers for iPad crashes when entering data

I have the same issue as described in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603291&tstart=0
Basically Numbers crashes almost every time I tap on a cell to input data. It doesn't seem to happen if the cell contains text, or a cell that is the output only of a formula, but it does crash (almost always) whenever I tap a number that's an input into a formula, or a cell with star-value. Sometimes Numbers crashes when I tap an empty cell (even if there is no formula attached to it), but not always.
This occurs in every spreadsheet that I use, including the default "Getting Started" spreadsheet, spreadsheets that I created using templates found in Numbers, and spreadsheets that I imported from my MacBook created in (the most recent version of) Numbers. It's my perception that it first occurred infrequently in Numbers 1.1, and got worse over time.
I use Numbers mostly for a single spreadsheet that keeps track of my invoices. I never use any graphics in the spreadsheets. The formulas are all pretty simple.
(The spreadsheet is used to track sales, so each line has a cell for the dates of order and payment, the number of items, the name of the item, the items total, and at the bottom there's the invoice total. Small stuff like that)
Right now there are about 12 invoices in the spreadsheet. Each invoice is a separate sheet on the same spreadsheet, and I periodically make a duplicate sheet in which I can change some of the values and text (btw, text boxes are unaffected). There are like on average 30 populated cells per sheet, so the total is like 400 populated cells on this spreadsheet.
Unfortunately, due to this bug, I cannot use Numbers for this purpose at all. I can make a duplicate of a (blank or filled-in) Spreadsheet, but as soon as I start adding values to the chart, the screen goes black and I am returned to the iPad home screen. This problem also occurs on my very first invoices, even though they were created just fine at the time (using Numbers 1.0).
I only have four other spreadsheet files in Numbers and they all suffer the same problem. One is the default Numbers "Getting Started" spreadsheet. It crashes on the "Table Basics" spreadsheet when I tap the pink box as instructed.
I created a "Budget" spreadsheet from Numbers's templates. It crashes when I enter data in the "Budget" column in the first ("Categories") chart, but not the "Actual" and "Difference" columns. It also crashes each time I enter data into the "Amount" column of the second ("Transactions") chat, but not any of the other columns ("Date," "Description," and "Category"). So, this spreadsheet is unusable on the iPad.
(I did export this sheet to Numbers on my Mac, and it worked fine.)
I created two other spreadsheets in Numbers about a month ago and I had no problems. They are just two-column charts that I printed out to display some information. One has 30 populated cells, the other has about 100. On both of them, I can edit a cell that has text-only, but I cannot enter any data into an empty cell! It crashes! Also, FYI, there are Japanese characters in the text-fields.
I hope this is not too much information or too little. Just trying to get some help for myself or to help whoever might work on this problem.
Any ideas? Any more info needed? This is on a 3G 32gb iPad using version 3.2.2, and Numbers 1.2.

The issues you describe have nothing to do with the other posting you are referencing. They state they have the following problem:
(numbers on ipad) drops several of the important features that I created in the laptop version such as headers and footers, fonts, steppers, sliders, etc.
It sounds like your having no data entry at all. There is a known issue with certain formulas causing crashes, but not every data entered like you seem to be stating.
I might have missed it, but did you delete and reinstall Numbers on your ipad?
If not, please write down EXACTLY the steps used to reproduce the problem, then go to http://www.apple.com/feedback and input this into a bug report for ipad numbers. Be very specific as to the steps involved to get to the crash point.
Thanks

Hi feaco,
I have a similar issue with a spreadsheet that is mostly used on iOS 7, no iCloud. Since there are other missing fonts I ignore the issue. Sure would like to turn that warning off.
I think this is an iWork for iOS issue. You may have better luck on that forum.

How to Change the (Missing) Font in Endnotes

Hello and thanks (again) in advance,
My preflight report showed that I have 170 errors: they are all missing fonts in the numbers of the endnotes.
Some of the Endnotes are in the Times New Roman Font, but for some reason, 170 endnotes are not. This is a font problem with the "number" part of the endnotes -- the text in the endnotes is all Times New Roman.
What I would like to do is to change the font from the missing one (Cambria Regular) to Times New Roman.
The endnotes were imported when I placed this MS-Word document into InDesign.
Here's what I tried, that failed:
1. Fix the font problem when I opened the file, and InDesign showed missing fonts. (This fixed the fonts -- changed them from Cambria to Times New Roman) for all the text, but did not touch the numbers in the endnotes.
2. Search and Replace for the number of the Endnote -- the numbers were ignored by the search.
3. Search and Replace for the number of the Endnote, with the "Include Footnotes" button highlighted
4. Search and Replace for Cambia Regular text (although I might not have done that correctly.) ... I left the "Find What" box blank, and in the "Find Format" box I selected Cambria Regular. ... Nothing was found.
5. I deleted one of the numbers -- endnote 202 -- "by hand", and then retyped the number. This did change the font, but it had the bad effect of ruining the endnote numbering system: it made the next endnote (number 203) below it into number "1" and the endnote after that "2"
Also, I wondered if it "broke" the entire endnote system -- If there is some connection between the number that I deleted, and the corresponding superscript number in the text itself.
Here (below) is a screen shot of my pre-flight report.
You can see that some of the numbers in the endnotes, (for example: 200 and 202) are in the correct font; but endnote numbers 201, 203, 204 are not in Times New Roman.
I am stuck ... Suggestions are welcome and appreciated !
ZtG

Since ID doesn't really support endnotes, I suspect they were imported as a numbered list, particulary considering the uselectablility and find/change sympotoms you describe. Bullets and numbers in lists aren't "real" characters that can selected.
Find font should probably have done the trick if the numbers were assigned a style in the list definition AND you checked the update styles when changing all box in Find Font, so I'm also going to guess that you either didn't check the box or there is no style assigned to the numbers (and I suppose it's possible they aren't really a list).
The best solution would be, I think, to first verify that they the endnotes are a list, and to assign a character style to the numbers.

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 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.

Searching forms in Numbers for iPad

I want to use the iPad for wine inventory, but paging through 200+ forms kind of defeats the purpose. Am I missing something? Thanks for any thoughts on this?

I have submitted an enhancement request via Apple's iPad feedback and hoping that future versions of Numbers for iPad would have the ability to password protect table cells, and also have the abilty to disable the delete function within Forms.
Would appreciate any further halp on a possble workaround in the mean time.
Thanks

Numbers for iPad totalling check boxes

I am very new to Numbers on iPad. I have been searching for how to total check boxes and gather that you use the function "countif" Am I missing something? I look in functions and can only see count or if, but not a countif option. How do you select this function?

John, Is that for the desktop version of numbers? Sounds like it with the reference to the Insert menu.
on Numbers for IPad, you
double tap a cell
tap the equal button above the keyboard that shows up
tap "functions" to the right
Tap "Categories" on the top of the floating window
then Statistical.
Browse for Countif
Tap countif to add it to your formula.
The first argument is highlighted, so tap the reference range to be tested
Tap the second argument bubble for condition.
Tap the True/False button twice to cycle through to True
Tap the GReen check mark to finish

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..

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.

Thanks

FrameMaker 7.2 - missing fonts

I recently switched from a computer with Windows XP to a new computer with Windows 7. I didn't install the exact fonts that I had on the old computer, but will install them as I need them (I saved them on disc).
In certain tables I have bullets created by \b\t in Numbering format. When I open a document containing a table with those, I get an error-message about missing fonts. This is only when I have linked the table from another document. The table in the document I have linked it IN to looks OK (but I get the error-message). But when I double click on the table and choose Open source, the bullets in the table are now replaced with black "standing rectangles". I also get the error-message about missing fonts when I open the document where the original table is. But it prints right!!
If you couldn't understand my rambling above, here's how it is exactly:
A) Documents with tables with \b\t, no links to or from: no error message and bullets looks like bullets.
B) Documents with tables with \b\t, table in linked from another document: error-message and bullets looks like bullets.
C) Documents with tables with \b\t, original table to B) above: error-message and bullets looks like rectangles.
D) Documents with text that uses \b\t: no error-message and bullets looks like bullets.
E) Documets with text that uses \b\t and the text is linked in from another document: no error-message and the bullet looks like bullets.
F) The original text to E) above: no error-message and bullets looks like rectangles.
All these variations prints right...
I am now wondering this:
1) Wich font is FM using when it creates these bullets?
2) Why does it look right (even though I get the error-message) in the document where the table or text is linked into?
As it doesn't help if I click OK when FM asks me if I want to reformat the document (I get the exact same message the next time I open the file) I am wondering how to fix this. Very irritating!!

I do have the English FrameMaker, even though I am Swedish. So much easier when asking for help...
For some strange reason I now got a console for the first time (about missing fonts...). Never had it before. It says that Courier is missing and will be replaced by Courier New.
I read the help file and found out how to remove unused fonts (removing all and then taking back the used ones). Still Courier is missing and it will be replaced by Courier New... Is there a way I could search for where FM thinks Courier should be used? I have gong through all the formats used, and all formats uses Futura or Futura Light.
Now something strange happened. The document I worked with above was one where I had a file linked into. So I double-clicked the table and opened the source. I did the same thing with the formats there, and removed all formats and then got back the ones used. Then I saved and updated the linked table. Re-did the format thingy and now it's not just one version of Courier missing, but:
The "Courier Bold" Font is not available.
"Courier New Bold" will be used in this session.
The "Courier" Font is not available.
"Courier New" will be used in this session.
The "Courier Bold" Font is not available.
"Courier New Bold" will be used in this session.
The "Courier" Font is not available.
"Courier New" will be used in this session.
The "Courier" Font is not available.
"Courier New" will be used in this session.
I am stumped. Don't know what to do more...

Where do I find basic instructions on Numbers for iPad?

I bought numbers for ipad to have a portable spreadsheet program to use in the field. I previously used HanDBase with my smart phone. I'm having problems with figuring out how to use numbers. For example, I entered two columns of numbers and wanted to calculate a correlation coefficient. I could enter the numbers and highlight them, bu I was unable to make the program apply the formula to those numbers.
Where can I find out how to use this program? It isn't intuitively obvious to me. Are there any books written on the subject?

Bottlerocket,
When you open a spreadsheet on your iPad there is a Help File readily available under the Tool Menu (the wrench icon in the upper right) - it has a search option and can provide instructions to entering formulas on the iPad in Numbers.
Additional help can be found in two downloadable PDF files: Numbers '09 User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Numbers09_UserGuide.pdf and The Formula and Functions User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Formulas_and_Functions_User_Guide.pdf - both are for Numbers '09 for OSX but many of the principles are the same with iOS Numbers and OSX Numbers
Remember, too, that if you "dump" your iPad Numbers app (i.e., delete it from your iPad) any files created by it are also deleted - be sure you transfer any files you wish to keep before "dumping" Numbers. Personnaly, I think you will miss some of the real pleasures of using Numbers if you do, but Happy Computing to 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.
