Replacing missing fonts
If you open or import a file containing fonts that are not installed on your system, the Missing
Fonts dialog box prompts you to replace the missing fonts. Any missing fonts not replaced will
display and print in the default replacement font, Arial (Windows) or Courier (Macintosh);
however, the font assignment in the document remains the same.
To replace missing fonts:
1
Do one of the following:
•
Select File > New to open a new file. Then select File > Import to import a file.
•
Select File > Open and open a file.
The Missing Fonts dialog box appears.
2
Highlight a font in the list, or click Select All to select all missing fonts.
3
Click Replace to open the Replace Font dialog box. Select the font name and style with which
to replace the specified font or fonts, then click Change.
4
Do one of the following:
•
Click OK to open the document with the new fonts.
If you didn’t click Replace to replace missing fonts prior to clicking OK, the missing fonts are
temporarily displayed and printed in system default fonts.
•
Click Cancel to cancel opening the document.
Automatic font substitution
If you use the Adobe Type Manager (ATM) font substitution feature, ATM temporarily
substitutes fonts when the illustration is opened, and the Missing Fonts dialog box does
not appear.
ATM automatically applies each missing font’s metrics and weight to a multiple master font and
marks the font name with a diamond in the font menu. Line breaks and word spacing are
preserved, but the subtleties of the letterforms may be lost.
If you are concerned about typography, open the ATM control panel and deselect Enable Font
Substitution (Macintosh only).
