maxen Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Replacing missing fonts with the font manager does'nt work here. It simply doe'nt apply the changes and keeps saying it's missing the previously used font. Win10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) I think Font Manager just reports what fonts are missing and what it has "replaced" them with. To actually deal with the missing fonts message you either need to install the missing fonts into Windows or do a find and replace to change the missing font to whatever replacement font you want to use permanently Edited July 12, 2022 by carl123 Changed "search and replace" to "find and replace" Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

maxen Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Well, I installed the substitution font (it's identical to the origninal, it's just a different name) and switched the substitution font from arial (automatic set bey AP) to the one I wanted to use instead. I expect AP to replace the missing font when I am able to select a substitution font, what I did. At least it should change the substition font to the new one. But the fonts in the document don't change. I really had to select every single textbox and change their font manually. I expected the font manager to work the same way as the ressource manager does.

maxen Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Where do I find this? Help says: "from the tool menu..." - but where is the tool menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxen Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Oh, got it. It's under "TEXT" - at least, "Tools" and "Text" both start with "T"... Thanks for the hint, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To actually deal with the missing fonts message you either need to install the missing fonts into Windows or do a find and replace to change the missing font to whatever replacement font you want to use permanently In my experience the Missing will still be reported if there are empty text frames. And if there are Paragraph or Character styles asking for them. These are not taken care of by Find and Replace. I wish the Font Manager way of dealing with Missing Fonts dialogue had a Nuclear option.
