Replacing missing fonts

If you open or import a file containing fonts that are not installed on your system, the Missing Fonts dialog box appears to prompt 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:

Choose File > New to open a new file. Then choose File > Import to import a file.

Choose File > Open and open a file.

2

When a warning appears asking if you want to reformat the document using available fonts, click OK.

In the Missing Fonts dialog box, at the prompt to replace missing fonts, do one of the following:

Click Replace to display the Replace Font dialog box. Enter the font name to replace the specified font with.

Click Select All to select all missing fonts displayed in the Missing Fonts dialog box and replace them all with one font.

Click Cancel to cancel opening the document.

Click OK to open the document without replacing fonts. The missing fonts are temporarily displayed and printed in system default fonts.
