open this_item
set DocName to the name of document 1
tell document 1
set myfontprop to properties of every font
set Font_List to {}
repeat with i from 1 to the number of myfontprop
set this_font_item to item i of myfontprop
set myfontname to name of this_font_item as string
set fontstatus to status of this_font_item as string
set Font_List to Font_List & fontstatus
end repeat

  • Missing fonts in CS4 – how to install?

    Hi all,
    Apologies for asking a question that I've seen posted and answered, but I'm wondering if there is a simpler solution than the plug-in suggested.
    I have lost a few of the fonts I regularly use. They appear in Font Book and are enabled, but they are not available in InDesign. The missing fonts are available to me in other programs (e.g Word) so they are definitely on the system.
    I was given advice to check in Home > Library > Application Support > Adobe > InDesign > Fonts, but there is no folder called "InDesign" within the Adobe folder of that path, so I don't know if that was good advice.
    Of course (always the way, isn't it?) I've noticed this problem one week out from my deadline to the printer, so would really appreciate resolving it quickly.
    Thank you in advance,
    Andrew

    Well, if your goal is to make the problem go away without
    understanding it, thus reducing the liklihood you'll understand the
    cause and prevent it from recurring in the future...
    "Sometimes they get sleepy" is an attitude that really bothers me at a
    deep level. Programs shouldn't break. And when they do, we should make
    the effort to understand why they do. And report those problems back
    to the manufacturers, who should be given the opportunity to fix
    them. Even if we think they won't.
    Programs break for reasons. Sometimes complicated and tricky
    reasons. Sometimes reasons we can't actually figure out. But sometimes
    reasons that we can. And we need to take the effort to figure out
    why. Or at least try to a reasonable effort.
    It is our moral duty. Otherwise the programmers who author the
    software will have no opportunity to fix the problems, and thousands
    of user across this green earth will be forced to deal with the same
    problems we deal with regularly, for years and years, all because no
    one was willing to take the minimal effort to figure out what was
    broken and why.
    Don't lie down and say "oh, it just broken again, I accept that i have
    to jump through this hoop to fix it periodically." That's just not the
    way it should work, and it doesn't have to be that way.

  • 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 PDF

    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,
    Andreas

    Part 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 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.

  • Find the Missing font text content in indesign document

    How to find and get the missing font content in the indesign documents by using the SDK. give a tips and techniques.
    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".

  • 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.

  • Find missing fonts in AI file

    I am writing a VBA script to open and print a handful of AI files. It needs to detect any missing/substituted fonts in each file to alert the designers in an accompanying report.
    I tried creating a list of fonts using the TextFonts collection from the Application object when the application first opens, and then compared the list to the TextFonts after opening the file. This allowed me to detect the font differences between the two, but I have no way of knowing if the additional font was embedded in the AI file or substituted with another.
    Any ideas?

    yeah, I tried the whole modifying the master slide thing but the missing fonts aren't on there, they would have come from slides I deleted as well or already replaced the fonts on so not sure why they are lingering....
    oh wait...I think I might have just figured out something. The whole "revert to previous version" wouldn't that have something to do with still remembering fonts used in a previous version? I'm going to try and see if I can duplicate the current document in some way that makes it a new version with no history in it.
    Other than that I was going to try exporting to '09 do the replace fonts tool that was in there and then open it back up but I'll have to modify the transitions and shadows that were new to current version of keynote.

  • Missing Fonts on a pages document

    I just opened a Pages document that I have opened many times before and it said error occured - aril Mt and and another arial MT bold of some sort font is missing.
    I have never goofed with any fonts errors since I went to Macs maybe 6 years ago. It says to add it to your folder or just ccancel or continue.
    how do i add it? where do i get it from and what folder do I insert in into when i find these 2 fonts?
    Why did this happen?
    I am stumped.
    This is on a powerbook 12". I have not been able to check my macbook pro yet.
    thank you.

    I tried to summarize previous comments on this subject and ended up with this:
    Pages can be very picky about fonts, even fonts you do not visibly use in a document. It is for example possible that a Style you do not use contains a font that is missing. It may also be part of a bullet list.
    * Use Applications > Font Book to make sure you really have all the fonts that Pages complain about. If you do not, get them.
    * If you think the missing fonts may come from MS Office you can go to Mactopia to download a test drive, which will install the fonts.
    * If you think the missing fonts come from Pages, reinstall Pages.
    * In Font Book, highlight the fonts Pages complains about, and go to File Validate, to make sure they are ok. Make sure there are no duplicates active.
    * In the Finder, highlight the files of the fonts that Pages complains about. Drag them from the Fonts folder to the desktop and then back again to the Fonts folder.
    * You can also try Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair Permissions. (To be honest, I do not think I have ever heard of this actually fixing any problem, but it is theoretically possible.)
    * Some people have reported solving the problem by "cleaning" the document saving it to another format. Try for example saving your Pages 2.0 document as Pages 1.0 and then reopen it. Warning! You may loose formatting here, so keep the original as back up.
    * Restart.

  • Displaying Missing Font Dialog when exporting to PDF?

    Does anyone knows a way to display the missing font dialog again, after it has been shown when the document was opened? We need to export to PDF with font embedding/subsetting, but if a font is missing, the substituted font is embedded instead.
    InDesign warns when fonts are missing when it exports to PDF via the UI, so at first I thought I was simply suppressing the error dialog, but IPDFExportPrefs->SetPDFExErrorControl(kExportErrorControlWarnAndContinue) in combination with IUIFlagData->Set(kFullUI) doesn't help.
    I can already detect when a font is missing ( thanks to IDocumentFontUsage->GetNumMissingFonts), but I can't get the missing font dialog to display again. I tried IFontUseWarningManager->WarnUser but that doesn't work. If there is any other approach, I'd be grateful to hear it.
    I already searched the forum but ironically, I find only messages from people trying to suppress the missing font dialog...

    Check the fonts have embedding permissions.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html allows you to generate bookmarks from any pdf by embedding Crystal formulas that act as invisible tags.

  • Batch fix missing fonts

    We have 2000 InDesign documents that are all showing missing fonts. The fonts are there, but different people opened the documents so they are all linked to different font files. I need to PDF all of them, and have a script to do that but the fonts don't appear correctly because it doesn't think I have them.
    Is there a script I can use to find the missing fonts and replace them with the correct fonts? I don't need a report of the missing fonts...I know which ones are missing, I just need to fix them in all the documents.

I need to PDF all of them, and have a script to do that but the fonts don't appear correctly because it doesn't think I have them.
    This sounds like a misdiagnosis. Perhaps you have installed a slightly different font from the one in the document? That is quite common.
    Try Type > Find Font and select the fonts, choose More Info and check the font version and compare it to the version installed on your OS.

  • How do I find where a missing font was used?

    For an example, download the Property Owner Application form from http://www.atlantahousing.org/housingchoice/landlords/index.cfm?Fuseaction=forms
    When opened in LiveCycle Designer, I get a message that Kozuka Gothic Pro-VI M (Regular) is missing. I don't see a way of searching for a font in LiveCycle, so I opened it up in Illustrator, thinking I would get a missing font message ... but I didn't. And when opened in regular Acrobat and looking at the Properties > Fonts list, it doesn't appear there either.
    It's not causing any problem that I can see, but I'd like to get rid of it. Or maybe this is a font used by the application for some special symbol? Anyone khow to find it, or what's going on?

    Hi,
    I haven't downloaded the form, but if you can open the form in LC Designer then go to the XML Source tab and do a search there for "Kozu". If the font is used, it will definetly show up in the XML Source. Note that while in XML Source you will be able to look up and down and identify the object that contains the font.
    If you find it there, amend it for something else like Myriad Pro and see what happens.
    Good luck,

  • Photoshop CC: Missing Fonts on Startup, only a few fonts are displayed as replacement options

    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,

    I'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
