Finding and replacing fonts
The Find Font command creates a list of all the fonts in your file and allows you to search for and replace them (including the font's type style) by name. This command also lets you save the list of fonts as a separate file, which can be useful for a service bureau that is printing the file.
To find and replace fonts in your file: - Choose Type > Find Font.
- Do one of the following:
- Select the Multiple Master, Standard (Chicago, Geneva, Monaco, New York, Courier, Souvenir, Symbol, Hobo, Helvetica*, and Times*), Roman, Type 1, TrueType, CID, or OTF (OpenType font) option to display these fonts. To display multiple master fonts, you must click the Multiple Master and Type 1 options (multiple master fonts are Type 1 fonts).
- Choose System from the Replace Font From pop-up menu to make all fonts currently installed on your system (as filtered through the previous options you chose) available as replacements.
- Choose Document from the Replace Font From pop-up menu to limit the fonts you can use as replacements to those already in your file.
- Select a font name from the Fonts in Document list. Illustrator selects the next instance of that font in your file.
- Click Find Next to find the next instance of the font.
- Select the font you want to use as a replacement from the Replace Font From list, and do one of the following:
- Click Change to change just that instance of the selected font.
- Click Change All to change all instances of the selected font.
When there are no more instances of a font in your file, that font name is removed from the list of fonts to find. - To save a list of all fonts found in the file, click Save List, enter a filename and location in the Save Font List As text box, and click Save.
- Click Done.
