Handling missing fonts


    When you open or place documents that include fonts not installed on your system, an alert message appears, indicating which fonts are missing. Illustrator substitutes missing fonts with available matching fonts. When this happens, you can select the text and apply any other available font. By default, text formatted with missing fonts appears in pink highlighting.

To make missing fonts available in Illustrator:

    Do either of the following:

    • Install the missing fonts on your system.
    • Activate the missing fonts using ATM Deluxe or another font management application.

To highlight substituted fonts in your document:

  1. Choose File > Document Setup, and choose Type from the pop-up menu at the top of the dialog box.
  2. Select Substituted Fonts, and then click OK.
  3. If this option is selected, text formatted with missing fonts appears in pink highlighting.
