Jim Monson Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 In an AffPub doc that I created I used Goudy Old Syle throughout. When my colleague opens it on his computer (which has Goudy Old Style) the entire doc comes up with a different font (Ariel or Helvetica?). However, AffPub font does not show the replaced font name, nor is there any message in AffPub before it changes the doc font that I sent him but ?Goudy. This is very disturbing and must have an explanation although I can find nothing on the forum. My AffPub doc should maintain the same font and formatting when opened by a different user on a different computer (both Macs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Monson Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 It appears that AffPub does not give a warning when it does not find the font in the doc, but under DOCUMENT we have found a FONT MANAGER in which we can substitute the proper fonts. It may be a Mac problem of fonts storage. Will update when we find the problem, however, I believe AffPub should add a warning when opening a doc.

walt.farrell Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 There is a warning when opening a document when the computer doesn't have the right fonts. It's a small popup in the upper right of the workspace, which disappears after a few seconds, and if one isn't looking for it it can disappear before one sees it. But, did I understand you correctly, that both your computer and your colleague's computer have the font available? If so, it shouldn't be missing. Perhaps you have similar fonts, but not ones with identical names?

Jim Monson Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 It was a Mac font issue. Since I could not see the problem on his computer I did not see the warning. Thanks for your note, Walt. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
