[Publisher (Mac) - Unresolvable(?) font error in checklist]

I would have loved to be able to replace this strange Font (0) - but unfortunately, this does not work either. Unfortunately, the file is under copyright protection - so I cannot make it public here.  But I will try to reduce the file to the critical passage - which I could not identify either. (It is a ridiculous issue, indeed: looking to get rid of something that is not there, should not be there, and cannot be deleted - but seems to corrupt your file ... 😞 ).

[A strange 'Font (0)' appeared, causes preflight warning and won't disappear]

I have already posted the issue in the general forum on 'Publisher on Mac', although without being able to resolve the issue.

I am now reporting this as a bug. So here it is a link: Report about a strange 'Font (0)' that appeared out of nothing and cannot be deleted (or in any other way be resolved).

Please help, as this is my first major project with Publisher - and I do not know whether the persistent error message will affect printing.

Thanks!

Thanks, Joachim_L. Unfortunately, unchecking the box has no effect. Too bad.

What do you think, should I contact Affinity's support?

Thank you, OLd Bruce.

I should have written that I tried out exactly the procedure described by you - but without success. As no 'Font (0)' shows up in the Missing Fonts. Therefore I cannot replace anything there. 😞

[Publisher (Mac) - Unresolvable(?) font error in checklist]

Hello everyone!

As this is my first post here, I think I should introduce myself. My name is Jan, I am from Germany, and I am right at the beginning of working with Affinity Publisher (so, please, be gentle if I should be asking too stupidly - this is all new to me - thanks).

I am working on my first book to be made ready for print in Affinity Publisher. Everything seems to be going well, except for one issue. When checking the afpub-file before exporting to pdf with 'preflight checking' I get a strange error message (the only serious one I am getting). You can see it in the first attached photo and it translates to English as "Missing Font (0)". If I click on 'Fix' a window opens that presents a list of fonts and their replacement fonts (see image #2). The strange font (0) is reported as missing, but I have enabled its replacement by 'Garamond'. Closing the window and re-running the preflight check changes - nothing. The condition of the file remains red. And the error message is unchanged.

My question is, whether this is a serious error message and whether it will affect the printing?

On my Mac there is no 'Font (0)'. Also I have no idea how this font was created. The text of the book was set to Garamond even in the 'placed' docx-file. Although this docx-file itself was generated in Libre Office by export.

So, what to do about it?

Also, as I am just starting my business, I am still lacking any reports or feedback from the printing house. Yet, I would much prefer not to begin our relationship with a file that reports an unresolvable(?) error.

Thanks for your time and thoughts.

[Introduce Yourself]

Hi, everyone!

 

My name is Jan Groh. I am from Berlin, Germany. I am a hobby photographer - and photography is the main reason why I use Affinity Photo. Thanks for this outstanding program, Affinity team. Great job. If I may ask for something which I would probably love even more than AP it would be a "successor"/alternative to Apple's Aperture. A RAW developer with great DAM and - if possible - deep integration into the system so that digital assets would be available from within many if not all other programs on my Mac. And - having a tendency towards prosopagnosia - I would very much appreciate if a face recognition was included in this program.

 

Looking forward to further programs by Affinity.

 

Best,

 

Jan
