rui_mac Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I have an Affinity Publish file that, whenever I open it, warns me that a font is missing. When I select it in the Font Manager and press Locate, nothing happens. Also, choosing a replacement font and re-saving the file does nothing, as it tells me that there is a font missing the next time I open it. How can I clear this error?

Are you choosing it using Find and Replace? I would try using grep Go to the find and replace Find (.+) choose the proper missing font from the list on the rightmost dropdown menu. replace \1 and again use a font on your computer.

I wonder if it works, though, for text on a Master Page? 24 minutes ago, rui_mac said: Also, choosing a replacement font and re-saving the file does nothing, as it tells me that there is a font missing the next time I open it. Choosing a replacement in the Font Manager gives a temporary replacement just for that editing session, I think. Using Find/Replace as Old Bruce suggests, or changing them via a Text Style, are the best ways to get a permanent replacement, in my opinion.

rui_mac Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Thank you. It worked!!! But I was hopping that the Locate button would tell me where the error was. The Find/Replace worked but didn't showed me where the missing font was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that’s exactly as it should be. walt.farrell 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
