Publisher reports missing font in embedded PDF, but I'm not able to assign a substition

[max1josef]

In an embeddedd PDF the font "Swiss721BT-Roman" is used, which is not installed on my system (Windows 10). So I tried to assign a substition font by means of font manager. But in the font manager the missing font is not listed, so I don't know how to do this.

Just in case that there is a quick and simple solution. If not, I'll wait for upcoming version 1.9 and then use PDF pass-through-mode.

In 1.8: I think you would need to double-click on the file (or on its layer in the Layers panel) or choose Edit Document from the Context Toolbar. Then do your font substitution in there and then close the editing tab.

It will be improved in 1.9. For example, in the 1.9 beta you can use PassThrough for embedded PDF files and you won't need to worry about having the fonts installed.

In principle this works. Now the missing font appears in font manager and a drop down list is offered. But regardless which substition I choose, it always falls back to TimesNewRoman.

Yep. I don't bother about font substitution any longer. As a workaround, I create my document in 1.8 and only for PDF export I open it in 1.9 beta.
