Replaced font still appearing in missing fonts

Hi All,
In my FrameMaker template I was missing a font called "Palatino". I changed the font in the template to another font that is available with me.
I changed the font in every Paragraph tag and Character tag in the template. And did Global Update. I double checked everything.
I did it manually in one of the files and imported to the other files.
But in some of the book files, I am still getting the missing font alert for "Palatino". It is a mystry for me, where I am leaving some track of the old font. I am 100% sure the font do not appear in any of the Paragraph tags and Character tags in the template
Is there a way I can search for that font in the book files.
Please let me know. I quick help will be highly appreaciated.
Regards,
Com

Hi,
Font info is also stored here:
Stored table tags or in a deleted table title
In a left/right master page, if your document is single sided and you had deleted the master page of the other side
Master pages
Reference pages
Graphics files
You can also open the MIF file (preferably with MIFBrowse: http://www.grahamwideman.com/gw/tech/framemaker/mifbrowse.htm or in another text editor) and search for the font name.
Or you can deactivate "Remember missing font names" in the Preferences and then open your file. FrameMaker will permanently replace Palatino with another font. Only if the font is used by a graphics file, FrameMaker will still try to find this font.
Best regards
Winfried

Opening a legacy file in CC2014, the fonts in the file (which are loaded and accessible with Suitcase Fusion 6), won't display. I get the [Jensen text] font name indicating a missing font file. YET, when I make a new file, the fonts are available. Any ide

Okay, that was a long title. Sorry about that.
Longer version now. The font Janson Text is an old Type 1 Postscript font. If I make a new document in InDesign CC2014, this font is completely available to me. HOWEVER, if I open a legacy file that uses this same font, it shows up with the usual pink highlighting.
I know the font is available to InDesign, because I made a new test document and set type with it.
If I try using the Type > Find Font.. option to replace the 'missing' typefaces, InDesign won't let me, not recognizing the font that I just used in the new test document.
I just tried exporting the defective file as an IDML file, then opening the IDML file. The font is now working properly.
This is a real problem, as the file I'm trying to open is a book that we need to reprint. I now have to go through it page by page to see if any linebreaks have changed.
WHAT CAUSES THIS, please?

There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

Replace missing font with font of my choice in Photoshop CS5

I'm using Photoshop CS5. How can I replace all instances of a missing font with a font of my choice?

I am having the same problem. From what I read around the web, there is supposed to be a dialogue box which opens to ask which font you want to use. I don't get a dalogue box, it simply replaces the missing fonts automatically with Myriad Pro without asking which font I want to use. If anyone knows how to get the dialogue box to appear, I'd appreciate the help.
I am using CC.
Thanks!

Missing fonts in Preflight NOT in document

I'm using ID CS3 (5.03) and I'm relatively new to ID and Leopard. I've just started working with an editor who's using InCopy CS3 on a Mac and we've been having some font problems. I've just realized I'm going to have to update my font library to start using Open Type fonts because when I shared my old Postscript fonts with the editor they didn't work on her system.
I've purchase the OpenType fonts I need but when I relinked her InCopy files to my ID doc there were some strange font substitutions and I did "Find font" and replaced the unwanted fonts with the ones I wanted. I also went through all the Paragraph and Character Styles to make sure only the fonts I want are there.
So, in "Find font" only the fonts I want are listed but when I try Preflight, it still shows the unwanted font substitutions. If I click on the bullet "find font" it doesn't show up in the dialog box. Also, if I export as a PDF the unwanted fonts don't show up in the embedded fonts and there don't appear to be any problems. I tried saving as an INCX file and when I open, I still have a problem with Preflight but not "Find font".
It's going to be a long document but we're in the beginning stages so I don't want any problems with the commercial printer.
I found this in the database but it doesn't solve my problem (it just says to use the most recent update):
Fonts appear as missing even though they have not been used in InDesign CS2 document
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401180&sliceId=2
Any suggestions about how I can resolve the Preflight problem which doesn't show up in the document?

Yes, I did try that and the fonts still appeared in Preflight but not in Find fonts. Since I'm only about 30pp. into a 150+pp. document I decided to copy/paste into a new document and check Preflight everytime I did a new section. It did help me determine where the problems were (mostly in the notes but a few odd spaces here and there). And when I placed/relinked the InCopy docs the bad fonts would sometimes appear but I was able to catch them and replace them in the beginning so they didn't show up in Preflight. There were no characters with the bad fonts only spaces or hard returns. Maybe the find font feature can't find a font w/o any characters? This was definitely a time consuming effort but hopefully I won't have to go through it again!

Missing Fonts ... I don't care about them

Hi all,
I recently redid my CV in Pages - importing some text from a Word doc.
I then edited it, applied styles (which is an awesome implementation, btw) and saved it.
However, whenever I open it I get the Missing Fonts message: Windings and Century Gothic. Now, I presume I had these with Office v.X. The thing is I don't care to reload them on my system now.
What I'd like is to be able to open this pages document without the warnings.
I have tried selecting all the text and changing it to one font only (Optima for example) and then saving - but I still get the Missing Fonts warning even when I open that file.
Any ideas?
TIA.
Anthony.

Hullo Anthony:
Look I don't mean to be contrary, but so far as I'm
aware, whatever you like or don't about a given font
is just not the issue here. And really, the simplest
way to completely avoid your problem is to reload the
fonts involved where Pages can find them. That's in
the user or system libraries. First check, though,
with Spotlight, whether in fact you've completely
deinstalled them from your previous MS usage. They
could still be there, but not on a path that Pages
can see. If so, bring them up, then drag them onto
your desktop, and from there into the fonts folder of
either of those libraries. Select and double-click
them, and you'll get a small Font Book screen that
will invite you to install them. Do it.
If you've managed to clean them out, then reload
either your original MS Office or the trial from your
Mac bundle. Never mind if the trial date has expired,
the fonts will still load, and you'll still be able
to access, move, and install them as I've described.
If their presence annoys you, try creating a
collection, say MS fonts, that you needn't ever open,
but that Pages will find to give up these messages.
Not saying there wouldn't be other ways. Just that
hacking around to find them wouldn't be worth the
trouble. Somehow, Pages has imported a demand for
these fonts, even though you've changed them (it
keeps a record, regardless). You just might find that
multiple openings would get rid of the issue - as
rotating logs, for example for the undo and backup
functions, get rid of it: but I'd be guessing, and so
would you. The simplest sure-fire way is to "feed the
beast". Put them back, and your problem's gone.
Had the same strife with Verdana. Hate sans-serifs,
frankly. But what the: gee am I allowed to say that
any more? Point is, the effort you'd spend on putting
them back is miniscule compared to the hacking you'd
have to do to solve the problem otherwise. And to
compensate for the effort, once you've learned to
move fonts you have lying about into the folders that
Pages looks at, you can grab other fonts you might
well enjoy. Like the display fonts in Appleworks that
Pages can display far better, or the sometimes
worthwhile fonts (like Times New Roman) that came
with MS Office and its trial version.
I can also tell you that I've taken what I want from
MS and Appleworks, but wouldn't have chosen your
missing fonts either. But they're there: so I take it
they come with Pages - or else with OsX itself.
I also got rid of Brush Script once - thinking I'd
never use it. But it lurked somewhere in the system:
the default for a gizmo I'd never used. Well I know
somewhere it hides, now. But that mightn't be the
only place - so now I leave it alone. Likewise, your
missing fonts could lurk anywhere: in the help, the
keyboard shortcuts, or the typefaces of pop-up menus.
If the Gorilla wants a banana, then give it a
banana.
Cheers.

Hi Max,
Great answer!
But the pedant in me is not satisfied. :\
I understand that the simple answer is to reload the fonts, but this is a new iMac that I have Pages installed on, and Office has never touched it ... so the issue about whether or not I correctly deinstalled them previously is a non issue. Additonally Spotlight can't locate the fonts, so I know they are not on my system.
I'm inclined to agree with your suggestion that Pages has imported a demand for them when I was cutting and pasting text from my old resumé. It's just that I should be able to find the reference for these fonts in my document and eliminate them. I think that is the thing that bugs me most.
Anyway, I do appreciate you taking the time to write such a well put together response. Sensible, it was, too. But when confronted with problems like this, I find my capacity for pragmatism goes out the window. My frustration lies not with the Missing Fonts message itself, but more the fact that I can't work out why the Missing Fonts message is appearing and why I can't prevent it from popping up.
Hmmm ... Gorilla doesn't get the banana just yet.

CS4 - Missing Fonts Loader Plug-in?

I apologize if this has already been asked, but I am having difficulty with the missing fonts loader plug-in.
Q: Can some please give me a detailed (step-by-step) instructions for installing this plug in for CS4?
Q: What is this Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package required for CS 4?
I need some assistance, please.
Thank you very much for any help!

I meant to add this as well.
Missing Fonts Loader Plug-in for Adobe InDesign CS4
The plug-in for Adobe InDesign CS4 is available on the Proxima Software Web site. This plug-in can automatically
activate missing fonts in Adobe InDesign documents.
Missing Fonts Loader Plug In
Product Adobe InDesign CS4 version 6.0
Description Automatic Activation of Missing Fonts
Operating System Microsoft Windows
Requirements Your missing fonts must be located in FontExpert
Groups (visible in the Groups view).
FontExpert 2009 version 10.0.
The plug-in may also work with FontExpert of earlier
versions 9 and 8, but FontExpert 2009 version 10.0 is
recommended.
File Name MissingFontsLoader.pln
How to Install the Plug-in
NOTE
The plug-in for InDesign CS4 requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package
(available on the Proxima Software Web site, http://www.proximasoftware.com/download.htm ).
Copy the MissingFontsLoader.pln file to the Adobe InDesign plug-ins folder:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Plug-Ins\MissingFontsLoader\MissingFontsLoader.pln
and RESTART Adobe InDesign.
(Where "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\" is the folder where Adobe InDesign is installed.)
Using the Missing Fonts Loader Plug-in
This plug-in has an activation option: automatic (recommended) or manual.
Automatic Activation
The Missing Fonts Loader Plug-in loads missing fonts automatically when you open an Adobe InDesign document.
The plug-in searches for fonts in font groups defined in FontExpert. If a missing font is not found in the FontExpert
Groups view, it will not be activated, and the font will be marked by InDesign as a missing font (for the current
document).
3
Missing Fonts Loader Plug-In for Adobe InDesign CS4
In the picture below, the Missing Fonts Loader window shows an empty list of missing fonts for the current
document, because all fonts were activated automatically:
4
Missing Fonts Loader Plug-In for Adobe InDesign CS4
When InDesign opens the document, it may still mark fonts as missing, even though they were actually activated
by the plug-in during the opening of the document. In this case, you may be required to reopen document to let
InDesign know that all missing fonts are now activated.
The font information xml file helps solve this problem. It is recommended to select the Use font information xml
files option. Every time you save the .indd document, the Missing Fonts Loader plug-in will create a small xml file.
This xml file will include the list of fonts used in the corresponding .indd document. When this xml file is present,
the plugin can activate fonts just before the InDesign actually opens the document and searches it for missing
fonts. (You will find the xml file near the Adobe InDesign .indd document on your computer.)
Manual Activation
When the Activate Missing Fonts Automatically checkbox is cleared, the plug-in
does not activate missing fonts when you open the document. You can open the plug-in
window and activate fonts manually.
The Missing Fonts Loader window shows the list of missing fonts in current document:
5
Missing Fonts Loader Plug-In for Adobe InDesign CS4
Click the Activate All button to activate missing fonts.
Important Note
Unfortunately, when missing fonts are activated manually, you are usually required to close the InDesign
document and open it again to let the document "know" that new fonts became available. This is the
disadvantage of manual activation.

Missing Font issues

I opened a CS2 In Design document from a co-worker on to my computer and the Adobe font called, Palatino, which Ive had installed on my computer for ages would not show up on this document. I removed the suspect font (Palatino Type 1) through the Control Panel, and reinstalled it via Adobe Font Manager 4.1. This did not help. I do not have any other Palatino versoins on my computer.
Even after installing it, the font still shows as missing.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Kathy

You bet. I've checked and double-checked. What is really wierd is that I can open another In Design document that is using the same font, and it is perfectly ok.

Missing fonts error even though fonts installed

Hi,
At work we use Gill Sans as our corporate font. These fonts have been installed in Windows (and I can see them in Control Panel > Fonts). Yet, when I open a file with these fonts I get a Missing Fonts error with Gill Sans font missing. My colleagues don't get this error, and I have checked that the same fonts are installed on their machines. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
- Is your font appearing in the 'Find Font' dropdown list?
- Is the document you're trying to open one you created yourself or is this coming from some other office?
(If so I'd advise to get a packaged document so you can use the exact fonts initially used and see if that makes a difference)
- What version of InDesign are you running and what version was the publication created in?
It could be that your font is not the exact same one that was used to create the document.

Missing Fonts Error Message-Pages 2.0.1

I created a brochure with Pages (2.0.1) - No problems. I reopened the brochure and saw an error message stating that there were "missing fonts." I have one Admin account and one User account. I installed the application under the User account and created the brochure under the User account. I have not moved or added any fonts - Only have fonts that came with the OS and that were installed by Pages. Please help! This is VERY annoying. Can not find help under OS or Pages help topics.

CrushU
I had this problem a while back. Sometimes the package info gets confused and you end up with a font that doesn't exist. It tends to happen when converting files from Word but it can happen within Pages. Selecting all the document and changing the font wont correct it however there is a way to solve this:
Open script editor and enter the following script:
tell application "Pages"
tell front document
set aRef to a reference to (every character of body text whose font name is "ENTER MISSING FONT NAME")
set font name of aRef to "ENTER NEW CHOSEN FONT"
end tell
end tell
Ensure Pages is open and the document is open. Compile the script and run it. Now wait as it takes a while for the script to run and there is no indication it is running. When the script editor is done close the doc and reopen it.
Ensure that you enter the precise name of the font that Pages says is missing and the new one you want to replace it with. If it's misspelt it wont work.
Also this only works on Pages 2, not on Pages 1.

ITour says missing fonts?

Running iWork 2.02, tried to open the iWork Tour doc. Got the error message of Missing Fonts:
GillSans
HelveticaNeue
Cochin
HelveticaNeue-Bold
Optima-Bold
GillSans-Bold
Optima-Regular
Didot
Palatino-Bold
GillSans was already on the HD, so I used FontBook to install the (Adobe) others, but couldn't find Didot. At any rate. These should have been installed with iWork, but even after a FontBook install, quitting and reopening Keynote to run the iTour I get the same message. What's going on?
G5 Dual Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Kyn, unfortunately clearing the ATS did not solve the problem. The iWork Tour still claims the missing fonts. I am a single user running 10.3.9, so not sure if the ATS fix was Tiger only. At any rate, sure would like to find the answer!
As an example, using spotlight to find Gill Sans (which iTour says is missing,) it is there under Library/Fonts folder. The fonts menu in Keynote also shows all the GillSans fonts (Adobe Open Type). When a new slide is opened up, and the text tool used to identify what type is on the Master, Keynote does not identify the type. Yet of course I can change it to "Gill Sans" or any of the type listed in the Font window.
This means that whatever kind of Gill Sans and Helvetica Neue or whatever fonts are supposed to be part of Keynote either did not install, or perhaps have a conflict with fonts already part of the Library? Keynote just doesn't see them, or can identify it's native master slide fonts.

How to Add Missing Fonts

Hello!
I read through a bunch of other posts but haven't been able to fix my problem. I use Pages to design a project that I turn in each Friday. Today I opened last week's Pages file to update my project for this week and it says:
"The following errors occurred while trying to open this document:
Missing Font -- Hoefler Text-Regular
Missing Font -- Baskerville"
Etc. Lots of missing fonts.
It tells me "To include missing fonts, add them to your Fonts folder, then quit and reopen Pages."
I have no idea how to add a font to my fonts folder or even where my fonts folder is. And where do I get the font? I am so confused! Somebody please help me!
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions, mowriter.
Open FontBook from the Applications folder and check the font collections "All Fonts" and "User".
Hoefler Text, e.g. is found in my "All Fonts" collection and it even contains duplicates from Mac OS 9 system folder (marked with a black dot).
Maybe you've just disabled the fonts that Pages requests.
If this information is useful to you, please mark it as "helpful" or "solved" using the little buttons in the titlebar of my message. Thank you.

Missing fonts in Keynote file : how to replace them ?

When opening a Keynote file that had fonts not installed on the system, an alert window used to open.
You could then easily replace the missing fonts with other ones installed.
Not anymore !
The alert window still appears in Keynote V6, but the "replace font" option is missing.
Does anyone know a workaround ?

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.

Fonts still missing after installation?

I have a few files that I received to work on that came from a third party company that created them originally. When opened Illustrator gave the message that several fonts were missing. I purchased the missing fonts (or so I thought), installed them and the message still shows up.
These are the missing fonts:
AvantGardeITCbyBT-BookCondensed:
AvantGardeITCbyBT-BoldCondensed:
Futura-ExtraBoldOblique-DTC
I purchased the equivalent fonts from the Adobe store, but I could be wrong. Does any one know exactly which fonts are comparable?
Thanks for any assistance.

Use Type > Find font to replace them.
Maybe the file was created on a different system, then font mapping tends to be a problem.

Replace missing fonts with default fonts

I used fonts in my document that were not downloaded to my computer. I would like to replace these fonts with the default fonts that the computer automatically substituted. Is there any way to find out what fonts were used to make these substitutions?

I realize this is an old post, but maybe it will still help.
Was looking for the same functionality in Photoshop as in InDesign, where upon selecting "Replace all Missing Fonts", there would be a dialog box allowing me to choose the fonts to replace to. Instead, it just arbitrarily selects "Myriad Pro", regardless.
My solve, as clunky as it is, worked OK if your whole document uses the same font for everything. E.g. a font across multiple slides of a presentation.
Using the newer filtering options in the Layer menu, select the "Filter for Type layers".
Select all the type layers with the yellow triangle warning.
Go to your Type menu and select the font you want to replace to.
You will be prompted for each layer to confirm the change, get ready to hit "OK" a lot of times.
Click on the "Filter for Type Layers" option again to restore your full menu list.
Should take care of the issue.
With that said, this is a feature request that is well overdue!

How to replace a missing font in a presentation

There are free fonts who present different names (e.g. bauhaus and bauhaus 93), but are practically identical. In the previous version of Keynote, when opening a presentation made on another computer, there was a warning if a font used in that presentation was missing in the Font book of the actual computer, and there was the possibility to substitute the missing font with one of my choice. In the new version 6.01 (2013),there is only a warning stating that the presentation has been changed, due to a missing "xy" font. Is there a way to have the possibility to choose the substitutive font again?
Thank you.

No, you cannot expect the document to print as it was designed to appear without the support files. The best you can do is replace the font with another typeface. Perhaps one that looks similar to Helvetica Neue Condensed. You can try that via the FindFont feature.
As for the missing images, InDesign will render a lo-res proxy for screen and basic output, but those too are unsuitable for professional output and will need to be replaced.
