Font Management

[jaxfh]

So, I've switched my fonts, from static to variable, and now I want to replace the fonts the easy way with font management. And it's not working right. When i select bold or semibold, or regular, it switches automatically to light. And after that when i close the window the fonts are not saved.

If I understand what you're trying to do, and the problem you're reporting, you can't use the Font Manager. The Font Manager just performs a temporary substitution to allow you to continue working, but it does not change the font used for the actual text. This is a visual replacement, for on-screen purposes and Export purposes.

This is good from the perspective that you can keep working, and save your document with its changes, but everything is still set to use the original font and when you move the document to a computer that has that font (or when you install that font) it will be used.

To change the text so it actually uses the replacement font, you have to use the Find and Replace panel:

1. Leave the Find field empty.
2. Click the cog icon to the right of the Find field, and click Format.
3. Click Font, and in Font Family choose the font you want to replace, and click OK. Note that you can change the pulldown to the right of Font Family from All to Missing to help narrow down the list of fonts that is displayed.
4. Leave the Replace field empty.
5. Click the cog icon to the right of the Replace field, and click Format.
6. Click Font, and in the Font Family choose the replacement font, and click OK.
7. Click the Find button, and then Replace or Replace All.
