kanihoncho Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 I use a font manager. I have a document with 5 variations of a font family (bold, medium, etc.) There are about 14 typefaces in this family. When the fonts are closed and I open a Publisher file with those fonts I get a missing font message that all say the same font name. It does not identify which typeface within that family (bold medium, etc) that is missing. So I have to go to the font manager and open and close the fonts while looking at the Publisher file to see which fonts change when I turn a typeface on and off . . . Are you able to discriminate typeface names a little better so I don't have to do this when it happens . . . Quote
walt.farrell Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Have you tried to open Publisher's Font Manager (not your external font manager, but Document > Font Manager... via the menu) to see if it gives you the information you need. If it doesn't, can you give us a screenshot of what you see in Publisher's Font Manager?, Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

kanihoncho Posted December 17, 2020 Author Posted December 17, 2020 Both the font list on the top menu bar and missing font list under the character panel reveal no additional info other than the family font name. I will recreate today and take screen shots . . . Quote

kanihoncho Posted December 23, 2020 Author Posted December 23, 2020 Finally got around to it. That does work in Publisher but the problem still exists in Designer. Thanks! Move Along People 1 Quote

The message you get when you Open a document that requires missing fonts gives you the information you're looking for, I think: But I see what you mean about the Character panel: And the Context Toolbar also shows only ? Roboto, and has no information in the Font Style field.
