Missing Fonts That Are Not Missing

Why does FrameMaker 11 claim that it cannot open a file due to missing fonts when in fact no fonts are missing? I have repaired this problem with numerous files, replacing the missing fonts, but Frame is proving recalcitrant with one file in particular.

For one thing, Calibri does not come in a Heavy font version, the only available heavier weight is a Bold (see: https://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/family.aspx?FID=287).
To find the offending Calibri Heavy use the Find > Character Format..., then set everything to AsIs (Shift-F8) in the Format panel. Then select only Heavy for the Weight (it's important that you don't have a Font Family named, as FM will restrict your choices for the Weight to only what is available for the installed font). This should find all instances of Calibri Heavy with whatever it is substituted with.
To make the substitutions permanent (if you can't get your substitutions to work through the Fonts pod), turn off the "Remember Missing Font Names" preference setting and then save all of your files. You can then reset this Preference back. It is best to close the FM session when changing the Preference to ensure this setting is properly enabled when opening the files for the permanent substitutions.
Opening all of the files in a book (all in one go using the Shift-key shortcut) first is only a workaround to ensure that all problems, such as the missing fonts, are addressed and FM then doesn't have to ask about what it should do about the errors in the files. Fixing the problems mitigates this step.
The SetPrint utility automatically sets the AdobePDF as the default printer instance for the FM session only and then resets it back to whatever you have as your system default printer when you close FM. This helps prevent things such as printer fonts from accidentally being used and has the correct device for creating PDFs already enabled. It's quite useful for us lazy types...

"Missing files" that are not missing

I am running LR 1.1 on a Windows MCE (effectively, XP) SP2 machine. The
library panel in the library module (which lists "All photographs",
"Quick Collection", etc.) shows "Missing Files 11". However, on
checking those files in that collection:
1 There is no question mark on the thumbnails indicating that LR has
lost track of them.
2 Right clicking on any of the thumbnails and choosing "Go to Folder in
Library" immediately shows the correct photo in the correct folder (all
are from the same folder and are Canon RAW files).
3 Right clicking on the folder name in the folder panel and choosing
"Synchronize Folder..." shows only one missing photo (which LR
persistently claims is damaged and refuses to import) - which is _not_
among the "Missing Files".
In other words, and in brief, LR seems to think some files are missing
although it in fact it knows they are not. (I have checked they are
present on the disk.)
For what it's worth, I usually do not tick "Include Photos from
Subitems" on the Library menu in the Library module - but even when I
did I could not get the problem to go away, so it doesn't appear to be
related to that.
While clearly not a huge problem, I am baffled and feel I have
overlooked something obvious. Can anyone assist, please?

I really like your approach, since no XMP data or deleting and reimporting of files is needed. However in my case it does not work on all the pictures marked as missing in one folder. After copying (moving doesn't work in MacOS, since files can be located no matter in which folder they are situated, so moving them has no effect in Lightroom) and relocating the folder in Lightroom (version 1.4.1 for MacOS), only a few files (5-10) in each folder are removed from the 'missing files' list. Repeating the procedure a number of times eventually clears the list, but when there are 160 files missing in a 4GB folder, this can take a while...
By accident I discovered that there is a way to correct all files at once in one folder when this happens. After moving/copying the files to their new location and starting Lightroom, select the files in the 'missing files' list and export these files. Where or how is not important, neither is the output (sometimes Lightroom will give an error, telling you it could not export the files because they are missing, sometimes there is no error at all and the files are exported normally). What is important however, is that this export somehow makes Lightroom 'aware' of all 'missing' files in a folder and not only the first 5-10, as was the case before.
After the export, continue with the procedure as described by Bruno, so select one of the missing files and click on the question mark to point out what the new location of the files is. In my case all 160 missing files in one folder were removed from the 'missing files' list at once, saving me a lot of time and work :).
So if you also have problems with files not being removed from the 'missing files' list, here is the new procedure (new step proceded by + sign):
- Close the lightroom library.
- Move the picture files to a new directory.
- Open the lightroom library.
- Now all files will show as missing and a question mark will appear
at the right of each thumbnail. The folders will also appear in red.
+ Export all missing files in this folder, so Lightroom is 'aware' of
all missing files and will correct all of them.
- Select a folder and click on the question mark of one of the
thumbnails to map the location of the picture to the directory in
which it was moved.
- Repeat the above step for each folder that appears in red.
Hope this is of help to others with the same problem :).

LR3 Syncronize folder finds "missing" photos that are not missing

Having switched to LR3 I made some new catalogs and syncrnized some folders. LR3 kept find a ton of missing photos though and I was sure they were not missing. SO I clicked on the "show missing files" button and sure enough it just showed me hundreds of photos that were not actually missing. I checked them by right clicking on them and using the "show in finder" option to check that they were indeed still on my disk.
Whats happening ? It seems to do it every time and I have tried it with several folders. Every time it thought it found hundreds of missing photos.

Melissa,
I did not upgrade my catalog from LR2 to 3 , instead I started an entirely new catalog. I was hoping then to import some old LR2 catalogs into the new LR3 one but alas that plan has fallen foul of the import bug that effects importing catalogs with the same folders in them so I cant do that..... but thats all in another thread.
I think maybe I was not clear enough becuase it sounds like you didnt quite catch my point. My point is that the photos are not missing at all, they ares still clrearly displayed in the catalog and I can double click them and open them no problem. I do not have to locate them at all. They are still there. It is just lightroom saying they are not there when i sync a folder.
So to clarify, when i syncronize,it tells me that X number of files are missing. If I click the button to "show missing files" all the photos that it shows, are still there. It does not display them as missing, it displays them as normal. Now this would not reall be a problem except that the sync default is to remove missing files. So if you leave that option selected, LR removes a ton of files that were not missing!
Does that make it clearer, sorry i was not so clear the first time.

How do you add/use typekit fonts that are not edge web fonts?

I am just trying out the new Muse CC 2014.1 (August) release and was keen to try the new font facilities. As far as I can see that while I can now add other fonts for which I have downloaded web font files via the Self Hosted Web Fonts function, Typekit fonts that are not "Adobe Edge Web Fonts" are effectively unavailable? Have I missed something.
As an example I want to use the Proxima Nova web font family. I have selected it on the type kit site, set them up to Sync via my Creative Cloud account. So for example if I select a font in Photoshop CC or Illustrator, the Proxima Nova fonts appear. Even ok in Word for Mac. They do not appear in Muse.
To add them as self hosted web fonts, I would need to physically download the relevant fonts files and install them on my desktop using the OS-X font tool. However as they are being sync'd via Creative Cloud this shouldn't be necessary should it? Also I don't see an option for doing so on the typekit site.
Any help or guidance would be very welcome.
PS: I seem to have a separate issue with the Creative Cloud app, which is not listing fonts under the Assets tab. But I don't think that is related as they are working fine for Photoshop, etc.

Hi David,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. To add fonts from Typekit to your Muse website, you will want to use the web fonts path instead of desktop fonts. (You can use a desktop font synced from Typekit in your Muse design, but it will exported as an image the same as any other system font.)
There are a couple options for using Typekit web fonts in Muse:
o) The Muse Insider wrote a post on how to insert the Typekit embed code from the Muse interface:
http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html
o) Or you can add the embed code to the Page Properties dialog within Muse, which will include it in the <head> of the page when you export your website. The steps are the same as this tutorial, but you will add the Typekit embed code to Muse instead of into your page directly:
TYPEKIT | Adding fonts to your site
Note that in either case the Typekit fonts will not be displayed in the Muse preview window. You'll need to publish your site to a server in order for the Typekit fonts to be loaded into the page.
If those look like more coding that you are comfortable with, you might try one of the fonts which you can select from the font menu instead. Here are some that are similar to :
https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/fonts#/?xHeight=high&contrast=low&class=sans-serif&width=re gular
We are also working on a more complete integration of Typekit with Muse in the future, but I can't say yet when that will be available.
>> PS: I seem to have a separate issue with the Creative Cloud app, which is not listing fonts under the Assets tab. But I don't think that is related as they are working fine for Photoshop, etc.
Do you see a "loading" icon in the tab (e.g. a blue spinner wheel)? It sounds similar to this thread; you might try these suggestions:
Re: Adobe Creative Cloud / Desktop App / Home Screen: Constant Spinning Wheel
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions. Best,

What is font book used for? I read the description but still unsure. Does it contain fonts that are not already on the computer

What can I use font book for? I read the description but still don't get it. Does it contain fonts that are not already installed on my new Mac? Thanks.

Disabling (turning off) a font will make it unavailable for use in any font menu. You can alwasy enable the font(s) again - they're not gone permanantly. DON'T disable System fonts, though -> that's just asking for trouble.
Here's -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdR6-4lnF5A - a good video tutorial about using Font Book.

How to remove unused fonts that are NOT embedded?

I use only two fonts in the PDF I'm currently working on. However, when I export the docx (Word 2010) with the Acrobat plugin, more fonts appear. I already know how to delete additional unused embedded fonts, but there are also some non-embedded fonts like Arial or Calibri that ALWAYS appear.
I presume they are part of styles e.g. whenever I ad a header with Word, Arial appears and will NEVER go away again, not even if I delete all headers. Find/Replace doesn't work, Word never finds the fonts.
So, is there any way to eliminate the fonts after I created the PDF (I'm using Acrobat 10)? I don't want the fonts list to be bloated with fonts I don't actually use.

I think, you should avoid the fonts to appear in the exported PDF in the first place, not manually remove them.
In the export/conversion settings you can usually select between, like, "embed only used fonts" or "embed no fonts at all".
Also, non-embedded fonts are not embedded - so why care about them? The PDF just contains information on the used fonts from the application you used to make the PDF (Word), for font substitution.
" fonts list to be bloated with fonts I don't actually use." What does that mean? What font list? Do you think that the embedded font of a PDF will be installed on the system somebody watches the PDF on? If so, then no, it won't.

I'm missing a few songs on my iphone that are not missing in my itunes. I clicked "sync all music" already.

There isn't the exclamation point next to the songs in itunes. There are only about seven songs missing on my Iphone. A long with a few album artwork issues. It wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't my favorite band's stuff missing.

I ran into this problem as well, random songs missing from one album of a particular band. First I compared the info of each the missing tracks (command-i while in itunes) to the rest of the songs on the album to see if there were any discrepancies, as this could potentially confuse the iphone.
It turned out that wasn't the case; the only information that was different for each song was the name of the song and the track number, which is as it should be. But I did notice that in the 'Track Number' section of the Info tab for each track, the total number of tracks for the album wasn't listed.
In other words, the track number for each song was listed as 'Track Number x of __'. When I entered the correct value for the blank box (i.e. the total number of songs for the album (16 in this case)) for each of the tracks, this fixed the problem on my iphone. So, for example, for track #3, instead of having 'Track Number 3 of __' it now says 'Track Number 3 of 16', and the same goes for all the other tracks. All I had to do was re-sync my iphone, and voila, problem solved!
To save time, you can enter this info for all the tracks on the album simultaneously by shift-clicking or control-clicking to select them all at once, and then pressing command-i. The number you put in the dialog box that comes up (which should have the album name but none of the song names) will be applied to each of the tracks all at once.

Problem with a missing font that isn't missing!

Hi
I have a problem with a font appearing as missing in one document but fine in another document. I have tried to clear all paragraph styles and character styles but nothing works. The font shows up in both the list of fonts and the recently used fonts but when i choose it the text is highlighted in pink and the font name appears in brackets as if it is missing.
I have tried to delete the cached Adobefnt file but that doesn't work either.
I'm hoping there is a simple solution that I am to ignorant to know about. I am going out of my mind and would love any input on this problem of mine.
Thanks

"Missing fonts" message when the fonts are *not* missing

I get the "Missing fonts" message fairly often for fonts that are not really missing. Then I have to specify the fonts that I used to create a given document, which are installed on my Windows XP system and have never left.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there any way to stop it from recurring? It happens every so often, not every time I open a document but every once in a while. It involves a particular set of fonts (Geometric).
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Orson

>I don't see any AdobeFnt*.lst files in my Fonts folder. But is that where to look?
No. They're scattered through all of the Adobe application folders. Do a search for AdobeFnt*.lst (using the *) and it should find them all. They get rebuilt automatically as required after deletion. Don't delete any file ending in .db.

Turn off this nag screen?? "Some text layers contain fonts that are missing"

Hi all, I have recently been handed a web project from a mac user and everytime I open one of the pages I get the following message. "Some text layers contain fonts that are missing...etc" I have the same exact fonts but in the new open type format. Anyways apparently photoshop can't tell that. I would like to TURN OFF this nag screen. I am not even editing the text layer with the font.
Is there anyway to turn off this nag screen? I turned off glyph protection in the prefrences and restarted photoshop to no avail.

The missing fonts will be listed in grayed out color in the separate last section at the bottom of the font menu accessible from the text tool's property or the character panel
The layers with missing fonts will have the warning sign on the layer's icon in the layer's panel however the missing font/s will be displayed with the correct font. When you try to edit the text on such layer, Photoshop will show a message with the missing font/s and will say that it will be converted if you edit it. If you choose OK, and you have different fonts on the same layer, watch which fonts will change appearance.

ITunes thinks songs are missing when they are NOT...

I've written about this in the past and I thought I had fixed it manually. For some reason a large number of my songs (about 1300) in iTunes are not able to be found on the drive when I try to play them. Once I try to play them I get an error message saying "The song "song name" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it" and then the "!" symbol shows up next to the song. The songs files ARE there though.
In the past I thought I solved this problem because I "re-added" using all the songs in my library (about 4500) "File->Add To Library". If the song was one of these "missing" songs it was re-added to the library. The songs that were not "missing" were not re-added. (and again, the song files iTunes is re-adding are the exact song files it is saying aren't there in the first place) After the "re-add" I essentially had two of all the missing songs. One with the "!" and one without it. The newly added songs did not have any of the stats the original song had. So I used a script I was told about that goes through and syncs the song's statistics. Then after the song stats were synced I removed the "!" song from the library. I had to do this one song at a time. Of course, this took a VERY long time and I don't really want to go through it again... especially now that I know it may not be a permanent fix anyway!
However here is something new I noticed now that I have Leopard: The files that are showing up as missing are also the ones that don't have a "thumbnail" icon of the album cover in the finder. Also, if I go into coverflow view in the finder those files don't have the album as the other files do. However, there should be no differences between the files. For example, one album where each song was ripped at the same time in the same way will have some songs that have the cover icon and some that don't.
As I reported last time, this is not specific to one machine and has noting to do with the drive the songs are on. This also was happening on both 10.5.1. and 10.4.11 and lower.
So, why is this happening and how can it be fixed. I'm not going to re-import the songs because then I loose all my stats, ratings, etc and have to re-do the long method of fixin the stats.. There needs to be some way to permanently fix this problem. Is it with the song files or the library? Is there some sort of validation script that can be run?
Oh, on a side note... pre-leopard the "!" would show all the time. Now, if I close iTunes and re-open the "!" are gone until I try to play the song that should have the "!". This makes things even more challenging because I can't quit iTunes if I want to know which songs are "missing".

I have this same issue. I use an external HD connected to an Airport Extreme Base station to store my music. On Tiger 10.4.11 iTunes created a music database just fine and found every mp3. I just installed Leopard last night and left iTunes to create its database overnight. It found every song, but there are plenty with the exclamation just as you described. If I want to play these songs I must hit "Yes" to locate the song manually. I can then play any other song with an exclamation point in that particular album, but if I go to try to play another song with an exclamation point from another album I must repeat the process again.
It's definitely a problem with Leopard as I just got my mac back from the Apple store with a replaced hard drive. I created the iTunes database in Tiger on one day, then the next decided to purchase and install Leopard. So one day passed between each instance of building the database and it worked fine on a clean install of Tiger but not on a clean install of Leopard.

Identify special characters that are not supported by an embeded font

Hi!
I'm useing embeded fonts as CFF in my flex 4.5.1 application and I have problems with the special charcters like Ă, Â, Î, Ș, Ț or arabic text, that are not included in my embeded font. This are displayed in my RichEditableTect component useing the default font (Arial).
Is there any way to block the user when he tries to add such characters?
Or can I identify them before saveing , in order to format the text like <Text Font="ExoticFont"...>Hello<Text font-family="Arial">ë</Text></Text> ?

I think you want to use Font.hasGlyphs. If you are using the @font-face directive it is hard to get to the Font class so you may wish to switch to using the directive.

Freehand telling me fonts (that are installed) are not.

Hi there
I'm new to this forum but have a very important issue that I desperately need help with. I had to do an archive install recently as my machine wasn't opening any programs as a result of a crash during a software update. The computer has since been in many ways better and faster than before, all except a font issue with freehand mx (11.0.2). The problem is this: whenever I open a document it tells me that several of the fonts are not installed. I use 'font book' as a type manager and all the fonts are active within the program. Illustrator and Photoshop have no problem reading the same fonts that Freehand tells me are not installed. I've tried reloading Freehand a few times and reloading the fonts too. I downloaded the freehand update which didn't help either. I have quite a few fonts active but for some reason it tells me that about 30 or so are not installed which they obviously are. This is the first time I've ever had an issue like this with freehand having used this version and it's predecessors for a number of years. I run leopard 10.5.8 on my machine. I use illustrator and freehand a lot however most of my work is still in freehand so this potentially posses a very large problem.
Please can anyone offer me some light on this matter.
Thanks
al

Hi Mark
Thanks for your help so far,
Unfortunately freehand itself is telling me several fonts, some new ones but even very straight forward ones like verdana, Trebuchet ms, windings etc. aren't installed. If I open about 70% of previous work it says the same thing. This also happens if it's a new document entirely (some fonts are not in the list). All the fonts show up in Photoshop and Illustrator however. I tried reloading the fonts again and reloading Freehand and the update just to make sure.
I'm still very stumped

Subject: Freehand telling me fonts (that are installed) are not.
OK this info helps, Al.
So, create a new Freehand document and type in some text and choose the problem fonts from the font list. If these show up OK in the new FH file, than there is a corruption in your old file somewhere. If not, try these fonts in other applications to make sure they indeed work.
What I would do is create a new FH file at the same size and specs as your old file. Then copy/paste the art from the old one onto the new one and see if the fonts show up.
If not, then try the non-text elements only along with the text blocks that do show up correctly. The worst that can happen is copy paste the old text into the new file and reformat it to the fonts that wouldn't show up before. Basically using a clean, uncorrupted file.
Let me know what happens.

How can I download my past purchases that are not in my icloud? Somehow I lost songs that I purchased they say that the orginal files are gone but I did not delete them

How can I download past purchases that are not in my icloud? Somehow I lost songs it says that the orginal files can not be located. They are still available in the store but it doesn't give me the option to download them. I did not delete any songs or files but I am missing a lot of files

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
If you have to resort to trying to pull back the library from your iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Note also that if iTunes has an entry for a song, even if that entry is broken, then it won't offer that track for download since it "thinks" you already have it. If you can't find the original files or recover them from a device, then you may need to delete the broken entries, close iTunes and reopen before you can access the past purchases.
