Missing fonts warning when opening a Keynote file

I'm using Keynote 2.0.2 on a Mini Mac. Having searched for an answer to the ubiquitous "Missing Font" problem when opening a Keynote file, I was wondering if upgrading to the latest version would solve this problem. Unless it does, we would have to think twice about upgrading the software. A lot of users seem to have the problem with version 3 too. Does anyone have a solution to this? The presentation runs perfectly well, but the warning message is annoying and doesn't look nice when presenting to clients. HELP!

I've experience this same problem multiple times. There is a way to get rid of the troublesome font, thereby getting rid of the annoying message. I may be glossing over a step or two, but it goes something like this:
(1) In the Finder, right click on the Keynote file and select "Show Package Contents"
(2)Locate the index.apxl.gz file and open it. The file exands -- then open the index.apxl file with Textedit (or Word). Throw away the gz file.
(3) Do a search and replace -- find all instances of the troublesome font name and replace it with a non-troublesome font name, such as GillSans
(4) Close the text file.
Opening the Keynote file should now proceed normally. Note: Better practice this on a dummy file until you are sure everything works. I imagine that if you muck up the index file that the orignial Keynote file might be toast!

  • Font errror when opening some FrameMaker files

    When opening some FrameMaker files in Windows 7, my clients are getting the following message:
    The FrameMaker Console provides these details:
    The "Arial Black Bolded" Font is not available.
      "Arial Black Heavy" will be used in this session.
    The "Arial Black" Font is not available.
      "Arial Black Heavy" will be used in this session.
    The "Arial Black Bolded Obliqued" Font is not available.
      "Arial Black Heavy" will be used in this session.
    Even if you click OK on that message, and save the file, the same message appears the next time the file is opened.
    My clients had this same problem when we upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 3. I found a resolution regarding the Windows XP OS on this forum, but it does not apply in this case.  My clients have FrameMaker 9.0.4 installed and Windows 7 64-bit (we had 32-bit Windows XP).  I appreciate your help.

    Art - Thank you for your quick response to our problem.  Here's what my client replied:
    The problem with changing the “Remember Missing Font Names” setting is that it causes all font substitutions to be accepted permanently. FrameMaker is currently making inappropriate substitions, for example so that our manual titles are not italicized as they should be.
    We appreciate your help.  Many thanks.  Melissa

  • 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.

  • Warning when opening a .doc file (with Pages) ruins my applescript convert process

    I have 2000 plus documents (some Pages, most .doc) that I need to convert to PDF. I've got a working applescript droplet that converts both doc and pages files very nicely... but on some of the .doc files I get this dialog: "Some warnings occured. Would you like to review them now."  This of course, ruins my script run.
    Is there a way to suppress this warning when Pages opens a .doc file?

    Only if there is a script for dialog boxes in your AppleScript which you would have to tailor for the responses.
    You can record snippets of mouse activity using the Script Editor and include those in your script if there are no AppleScript library items.

  • Unexpected font warning when opening pdf

    This is a bit frustrating. I just completed designing a form and it code and suddenly the document now pops up a
    "The font 'SchoolHousePrintedA' contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display." warning every
    time the document opens up. This warning shows up whether its on a mac or windows.  I can only assume that
    somewhere in the document, something has a reference to this font. The strange part is that, although this font is
    on my mac, I've never actually used it and I certainly didn't use it for this particular document. The font is not listed
    in document fonts and I did a quick text search of the raw file data and didn't find any reference there either (though,
    perhaps its in the byte data).
    At this point I am stuck as to how this might be fixed, or where I might look next to possibly try to fix it. Any
    suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • My Fonts change when opening an InDesign CS4 file with InDesign CS6

    I've been experiencing strange behaviour when opening a InDesign CS4 file file with InDesign CS6: the kerning and spacing is all off:
    Original file:
    opened in InDesign CS6:
    Is this a conversion error? Is there a setting/pref I've got wrong?

    It's more than a year ago since this issue was reported, but at this time I'd had the same problem when opening a CS4 document in CS6/CC.
    I was amazed that a header, placed in capitals, looked different in CS6/CC. But at last, after several tests, i've came to the conclusion that "forced" capitals behaving different than "real" capitals. In others words: when you forcing text to capitals the kerning would be different in CS6/CC. When you place text in real capitals (Shift + text) the kerning is the same as in both InDesign versions.
    Text in CS4:
    As you can see: in CS4 there's no difference between real capitals en forced capitals.
    Below the results when opening the CS4 file in CS6/CC:
    I'm not sure if there are still people struggling with this problem, but hopefully was is this helpful.    

  • Muse "Missing fonts" warning?

    Hi, does anyone know if there is a "Missing Fonts" warning in Muse or some way to check if all the correct fonts are loaded when opening a file?
    Like the InDesign and Illustrator warning (see pic).
    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.

  • Missing font warning in Illustrator

    Hi,
    I received a PDF document, which I have to rearange and redesigned. I assume that it was originaly created in Indesign and exported in PDF for printing. Since i don't have an Indesign file to work with, I opened PDF in Illustrator. When I do that, the missing font warning apears and says that Arial font (which I already have installed) will be displayed using substitue font. I am lost here, sice the text is in Slovak language and some of the letters are missing with this "substitute font".  Appreciate any help.
    Maja

    Not really certain what you are asking.
    You need the exact version of Arial that was used to generate the PDF if you don't want any substitution. It sounds as though the PDF was generated poorly. Not much cna be done on your end without the exact font other than to simply re-key or reconstruct the text. Realize that there are probably 20 different fonts all named "Arial."

  • Missing Font Warning in Pages

    I transferred a Word file from a PC and when I open it in Pages I get a Missing Font Warning. How can I find where the words or characters that use that missing font are, so I can change the font.
    Is there a way I can search for or highlight any words or characters that use a particular font?
    Or is there a way I can highlight all of the other known good fonts I am using so that I can isolate the words or characters with the missing font?
    Also, can I find out what font has been substituted for the missing font?
    I want to be able to replace the "missing font" with one of the two good fonts I am using in the rest of the document.

    If I remember well, the warning tell us the name of the replaced fonts.
    So we may use the script which is available on my iDisk since 6 juin 2008 to replace the missing fonts by the ones we want to use. It was written to respond to a clone of your question.

  • How can I open a keynote file that was made in Keynote Beta and downloaded from the web?

    I have Keynote version 5.3
    I want to edit a Keynote presentation made originally in Keynote Beta on the web.
    When I download it in .key it wont let me edit the file because it says I need a newer version of Keynote.
    When I try to download Keynote 6.0.1 I'm told I can't because I need a newer operating system!! I currently have 10.7.5 and there are no new updates.
    Can I NOT open a keynote file that was made in Keynote Beta??!

  • Office 2013 applications cannot be made to show the "Documents" folder when opening and saving files

    (Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1 PRO)
    We are redirecting the user's "Documents" folder to the network (using Folder Redirection). The OS hides this fact however, and most applications simply see the "Documents" folder when opening or saving files, including Office 2003.
    Office 2013 however displays the actual path, which in this case is:
    \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
    Even if you forcibly set the "Default local file location:"  in the Options Save area to the 'Documents' folder in, say, Word, Word immediately converts the local path to the network path.
    Is there anyway to get Office 2013 to follow the virtual path? All of other apps follow it and expose the users only to "Documents".
    Thank you so much.

    There's nothing in my FAQ concerning screen savers, so I'm unsure why you decided to take that approach. From your description, it looks like you only tried a few of the suggestions before throwing in the towel. That's fine, it's your call.
    I don't have the problems you described with 10.4.7. Usually when folks have problems after an update, these are caused by either installing an update on an already-corrutped system or they've installed third-party applications or hardware that have been rendered incompatible by the update.
    Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
    Good luck!
