Missing fonts not identified in open documents

Adobe documentation states that when a document is opened that uses uninstalled fonts, a message will identify the missing fonts and offer to use font substitution. This is not what happens when I open such a document in Photoshop CS3. The warning message does not identify the missing fonts, nor can I click the offending text to get this information because font substitution happens automatically before the file is opened. The result is that I have no idea, in some cases, which fonts are missing. This is incredibly dumb!
How can I get Photoshop CS3 to tell me which fonts are missing? Thanks!

Unfortunately, Photoshop DOES substitute fonts. My files most definitely never specified Myriad Pro (which is what all the type in these documents has been converted to) or anything even remotely resembling Myriad Pro. What Photoshop does not do is provide a way to specify the font substitution settings at all.
As for Suitcase, it has its limitations; but honestly, I am unimpressed by every one of the font management programs out there. I have not had activation problems with Suitcase Fusion in the past, but who knows? Maybe I'll have better luck if I try to open my files in Photoshop CS. Thanks for your feedback!

    Anybodys help me.

    It wont answer your question, but you could have this problem too:
    I have a problem in my current project where text frame having no text make the document report the usage of a font wich we dont want the project to use (times by exemple). The problem being that Indesign report usage of a font wich is in fact not applied to any text. Weird!
    The easy fix is to identify those items (text frame class + no text) and reassign them as "unassigned".

  • Mapping missing fonts to others on opening

    Hello!
    I was wondering if there was a way to have certain fonts be replaced when  document is open, for every document.
    For example, I have a regular font, that now is in an open type version and I want every older document that I pick up, to automatically open with the new open type font, replacing the older postscript font. There are a few fonts I would want to map.
    Is there a way to do this in InDesign, I believe i did this in quark a few years back.
    Thanks!
    babs

    Not automatically as ID comes out of the box, though you might be able to script something. I'm not entirely sure this is a great idea, by the way. OpenType versions may not use the same kerning tables as your originals, so even opeing files in the same version of ID could result in text reflow that would affect line ends and possibly throw off your pagination, so my inclination would be to leave things alone unless you know you are going to edit the file anyway.
    You could get a semi-automatic result by removing the old fonts from the system. Every file that used them would throw a missing font warning on open and allow you to go to Find Font wher you can do the substitution manually. Not a lot of help, I'm afraid.

  • Avoid Missing Fonts Dialog on doc opening

    Hi everybody,
    I need to avoid the showing of dialog listing the missing fonts during the opening of a document.
    I would like to do the same with the missing/modified image dialog.
    Take present the document is opened by another plugin so I can't instruct InDesign to not to show such dialogs.
    What could be a way to achieve that? Any hints will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Best regards,
    Luca Severini

    Hi,<br /><br />You can try:<br /><br />InterfacePtr<ICommand> showMFCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kShowMissingFontsCmdBoss));<br /><br />InterfacePtr<IWorkspace> workspace(gSession->QueryWorkspace());<br /><br />InterfacePtr<IUIDData> uidData(showMFCmd, IID_IUIDDATA);<br />uidData->Set(workspace);<br /><br />InterfacePtr<IBoolData> boolData(showMFCmd, IID_IBOOLDATA);<br />boolData->Set(bEnable);<br /><br />CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(showMFCmd);<br /><br />This works with the font warning dialog. For the other cases i use kSuppressUI when available.

  • Font not found when opening file and not able to resolve, but is listed in the fonts drop down list?

    Hi, i just downloaded some files from a friend and he sent me a link to download the fonts. I did so and 98% of the fonts work, but there are two fonts i am struggling with.
    When i open the file i get the font missing warning and it asks me to resolve the fonts. I cannot find the appropriate font in the drop down list so i click 'don't resolve' and start to edit the file. i then come across some text that has missing fonts and i am able to highlight the text and change the text to the appropriate font using the type tool and the font I am looking for is in the drop down list.
    The fonts that aren't working are:
    Franchise Bold and BebasNeue
    The problem is there are multiple separate incidents where these fonts occur, and going through changing each one manually would take a lot of time.
    Is there something i can do to fix them all at once?
    Thanks,
    Harry

    I do not see either font  in the list you show.  I see Bebas Neue xxx but no Bebas Neue without any extra style. Try Bebas Neue at Download Bebas Neue Font - Thousands of fonts to download for free

  • Keynote complains of missing fonts not in presentation

    Keynote complains about two missing fonts when I open a file, even though I have gone through the deck and changed all of the text elements to a known font.
    I checked the .apxl file in the package, and it's making references to these missing fonts in paragraph styles that are not being used in the presentation. Is there a way to remove the missing fonts short of redoing the deck from scratch?

    Same problem as previous poster but...
    1. I have no idea what an apxl file is; a search of that extension yields zip. Where do I find this file and how do I modify it safely?
    2. I don't want to replace the missing fonts as they are not used anywhere I can find (and I went through every page); rather, I want any reference to them to go away. How do I do that?
    3. I am unable to export the show as a QuickTime file because, "There is a problem with the file," according to Keynote. Could the (erroneous) missing fonts be the problem?

  • WMF format equations available/missing fonts not displayed/alerted

    WMF format equations fonts are not displayed in the applications, If any fonts used on that equations is missing in the system the indesign will not show/alert any missing font warring to the user and the substitute fonts replaced automatically for the missing fonts, Because of this the output PDF comes with wrong fonts. How to fix the equation font missing issue in Indesign.
    Your suggestions are welcome.
    Required Details
    Indesign CS5.5
    OC - Windows XMP
    Equation Software : Math type
    Format: WMF

    Best practice would be not to use WMF at all in InDesign.
    WMF cannot embedd fonts, so the second best practice would be to use a WMF without live text.
    Best would be to use ai or pdf files.
    What other format can Math Type export?
    // I did have a look on Softonic's web site. They write that Math Type can export EPS. Use that!
    /// If you have also font embedding problems with EPS take care that you use fonts which allow embedding (not every font does) and put the EPS in the Distiller with some kind of setting without color conversion and make a PDF of it, then use this PDF. The PDF should be dcreated on a computer with the same fonts available which you have used with Math Type.

  • Missing font not missing

    I created a newsletter on the Windows XP platform using InDesign CS4. The newsletter was fine, and I "packaged" it with all the fonts. I then upgraded to Windows 7 (64-bit).  Now, when I open the same newsletter, Adobe tells me Arial Black is missing. But it's right there in the Font folder, and when I try to reinstall it in Windows, just to see what happens, Windows says it's already there.
    If this helps, when I select the font in the newsletter, it is listed in InDesign within brackets, like so: [Arial Black]. What gives? And how do I fix it?
    Thanks!

  • Index.xml file is missing...can't open document I created awhile back

    I created a document before Christmas on Numbers, saved it, and now cannot open it. It is telling me that the index.xml file is missing every time I try to open it. I opened the contents of the package, and there is no index.xml file there.
    I haven't done anything with the file other than converting it to a .pdf to email. It has a lot of important info on it, and my time machine can't recover it....any ideas?

    Hello
    I don't know which tool you used to search the Index.xml.gz files.
    There is one of them in every document created by an iWork's application.
    Don't exchange them between two documents. They ARE the document. In fact they are the description of everything which is needed to build what you get on the screen.
    Remember, a file generated by an iWork's component is a package which is a speacial kind of folder.
    press ctrl when selection the icon of one of them.
    A contextual menu will appear.
    Select the item :"Show package's contents" to get what you see on the screenshot.
    I really don't know what failed.
    To get rid of that, use the preference I described in my late message.
    Don't forget that when we use a computer, the most important word is BACKUP (I'm not shouting but I'm not far from doing so).

  • Font Not Appearing in New Document

    Microsoft Windows 8 Pro
    Adobe Creative Suite CS6
    Whenever I create a new Document in InDesign 6 I cannot see the font when I insert a text box.  For example, when I insert a text box and start typing, it appears as though something is happening, but I do not see any text.  What appears to be happening is the InDesign, by default, uses the Minion Pro font.  When I change the font, to Arial for example, then the text appears.  Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it.  By the way, it is not happening on my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion.
    Thank you in advance,
    Michael

    Here is the link (you will have to download the file):  https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9ei7N9i66GPaXUxdC1RT3ZndEk
    Can you tell me where the Adobe common fonts folder is?  Also, how do the Adobe fonts differentiate from the Windows Fonts? 
    In the meantime I changed the default font according to this link:  http://blog.gilbertconsulting.com/2010/02/changing-indesign-default-font.html

  • After Reformat There Are Missing Fonts - NOT SOLVED

    I know i already posted it but i said it was solved... turns out i didnt solve the problem. Heres whats wrong:
    I recently zeroed all the data on my hard drive and started all over with my mac. However, I recently discovered, with the reformat, I lost my fonts. Even normal ones like Tahoma! How do I get these. I'm sure tahoma is a normal font that should be bundled with all computers and i remember using it before i reformatted my computer.
    i also noticed this problem when i created a new account before i reformatted. no tahoma. unfortunately i forgot to back up my fonts folder so i dont remember what i had and what i didnt have. i think i might have imported the Tahoma font from my XP. but if thats not the case, then why isnt it there, and how can i get it back? I know for iDVD there was a similar problem where they didnt have any "Previous Menus" and all i had to do was unpack a package program thing (one of those open box icons) and they were there.
    I'm sure I'm not the only person that has this problem since i have the same version of Tiger that everyone else has. What do i do? Or does tahoma just not come with Mac/Tiger?

    Tahoma is not an OS X installed font. You must have installed it as part of some other application or as a separate font. Tahoma is a Microsoft font which suggests that it's installed when you install a particular Microsoft product, for example, Office 2004 X.

  • Illustrator CC 2014crashes on quit and will not save recently opened documents

    I read issues in combination with Extensis Suitcase and Fusion.
    I use FontExplorer X Pro. Could that be a partypooper too?
    Please help...

    Today I had a breakthrough and seemingly solved the issue. Indeed, like Monika said: turn it off. Well, sort of...
    I somehow manage to run two versions of Illustrator CC on my PC: Illustrator CC and Illustrator CC 2014.
    I don't know the exact difference between the two, but they seem to work side-by-side.
    In FontExplorer Pro I used the tools>plugin manager to uninstall the font management plugin from the Illustrator CC 2014 plugins folder.
    Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the same plugin from and into the Illustrator CC plugins folder and now the issue seems to be gone.
    Fingers crossed, but the last four times I ran and quit Illustrator CC 2014, I did NOT have crashes anymore and the recent documents menu item
    gets filled with.... recent documents, Yeahh.
    Thanks for the input, Monika!
