bobdobbs Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I'm using Affinity Designer on Mac. Some fonts are missing from an .ai file that I'm working with. I'd like to figure out the names of the font files that are missing. Google tells me that the names of the missing fonts should show up in something called the character panel.. I can't find this panel. And if I google further I can't find out how to find the panel. So exactly do I discover the names of the missing fonts?

bobdobbs Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 I found the character panel! However, it doesn't show me which fonts are missing. If I select 'Missing Fonts' from the dropdown menu, it just shows me the font that Designer is substituting for the missing font. It tells me nothing about the font that is missing. Is it possible at all to get Designer to show me the names of the fonts that are missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Double-click in any text frame. Click the Font dropdown, then click the "Used" box to restrict the font list to those fonts that appear in the docunent. You'll see something like this, where any missing font has a ? in front of it: Absar and Alfred 2 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
