Can I automatically replace missing fonts by other fonts in inDesign?
Can I automatically replace missing fonts by other fonts in inDesign?
Question
I have an inDesign document in which certain fonts don't work (size equal to zero for PC fonts). Is there a way to have these fonts automatically replaced by other fonts of my choice? If so, can I also choose some settings such as letter-spacing and size in order for the new fonts to resemble the most the missing ones?
Accepted Answer
The simplest and most direct way to do this is by using Type > Find Font.... Highlight the font that doesn't work and choose the replacement. If appropriate, check the "Redefine Style When Changing All" box. Click Change All.
For a little more finesse, use the format tools in the Find/Change dialog. Don't type anything into the Find or Change to text fields. The format tools will allow you to specify very narrowly which font, point size, Character and/or Paragraph Style to target, with a similarly exact replacement.
