To do this, you’ll need to open any of those graphics in the native application they were created in.Ī powerful but often overlooked feature is the Redefine Style When Changing All checkbox (circled in the second graphic above). However, be aware that you cannot use this dialog box to change the fonts in any placed graphics. To replace the fonts within the InDesign file, you can highlight a missing font then use the familiar buttons to the right: Find First, Change, Change All, and Change/Find, which function similar to the way they work in the Find/Change dialog box. When one of these fonts is highlighted, the Find First button shown above turns into a Find Graphic button so you can search for the graphic where the font is located. InDesign can’t tell what kind of font it is. In the screen capture below, the Milkshake font is found in a graphic and is also missing. An extra symbol appears for fonts in graphics. If you need to access that information, there’s a script for that. Older versions also indicated the type of each document font: OpenType, PostScript fonts, or TrueType. InDesign uses the yellow alert icon to indicate missing fonts. Within this dialog, you can view the fonts in the document in a scrolling list. At any time, you can open this dialog box by choosing Type > Find Font to check on the status of your fonts. You can do a complete Find and Replace for files in the InDesign file. In this dialog box, you can identify all the fonts used in the document, or missing fonts in the document or in placed graphic files. This is InDesign’s manager for working with fonts-one of the essential resources we use when creating layouts. To fix the problem now, click the Find Fonts button. Normally, unless you’ve turned off this feature in Composition Preferences, substituted fonts are highlighted in your document with a pink color. Clicking Close will not change the file and will allow you to work even with the missing font(s). You have a choice here: You can ignore the problem by clicking Close, or you can fix the problem now. This is telling you that one or more of the fonts in the document you just opened are missing. For my needs (basic font management, import, activation, preview, etc) Typeface works brilliantly.Almost everyone who has used InDesign has encountered the dialog box shown below.
Apparently there is a major Typeface update in the works, but there's currently no ETA.
That said, if you use the font discovery options, pairing options, smart sets, font cache management ( you can also do it via the command line), font repair, etc features you're best sticking with FontExplorer Pro X. Typeface doesn't miss a beat, and I find the performance much, much better than FontExplorer Pro X. I've greatly pruned my font collection from 10K+ fonts to roughly 3K now. One nice thing is when you add a new imported font folder location Typeface will automatically update any changes (additions or removals) within that folder when next launched, and you can also force refresh by right-clicking on the location in the sidebar. The way it's organized is similar to FontExplorer Pro if you've chosen to retain the location of your imported fonts/folders instead of letting FontExplorer Pro X manage their location for you. For my needs (basic font management, import, activation, preview, etc) Typeface works Typeface's preference be sure to check 'Collection Priority Mode' otherwise the default action is to preview the font glyphs-which gets REALLY annoying fast.
