Missing Fonts Warning in Designer

[pdcweb]

I recently updated to version 1.10 of designer.

Previously when I opened a document that had missing fonts I was presented with a dialog with options for managing the missing fonts, now when I open a document with missing fonts there is a warning popup that dissappears after some time.

How do I see this warning again after it has disappeared, and what happened to the missing fonts management dialog?

Hi Pdcweb,

Welcome to the forums 

There have been no changes on our end regarding the missing fonts dialog I'm afraid. What kind of file are you opening?

Thanks

What kind of file are you opening?

SVG files mostly.

ok, I see what is happening... Opening a PDF reports fonts how I was expecting and PDF's are what I mostly used to open.

So the question still remains, after opening a file, how can I find what fonts are missing after the notification closes?

As far as I’m aware, you only get the dialog with options when you open a package in Designer. For ordinary documents you just get the popup ‘toast’.

Unlike Publisher, there is currently no way to redisplay the dialog or message in Designer without closing and reopening the file.

As long as you leave the cursor on the window that appears, it does not close, giving you time to note down the missing fonts.
But you can find the missing fonts by choosing "Missing" in the "Character" tab of the studio and expanding the window on the right.
Sometimes, for this to work, it is necessary to select the whole page, click on "All" before clicking on "Missing".
My screenshot is from an SVG file.
