Hi Brian, Stubborn missing fonts like this generally are "hidden" in table formats. You can use this general process to find and fix them.
1) Go to one of the default master pages (View > Master Pages). 2) Click in the main text frame and insert the first table from your Table Catalog (Table > Insert Table). 3) Click in each cell and remove any of the "missing" fonts. You do this by applying paragraph formats to the cell paragraphs; of course making sure that all of the paragraph formats you apply have valid fonts. 4) Make sure your cursor is in the table and open the Table Designer (Ctrl+T). Click the Update All button. 5) Delete the table from the text frame. 6) Repeat steps 2-5 for all of the tables in your Table Catalog. 7) Save the document, close, and reopen it. This should eliminate the missing fonts messages. If you are looking for a faster way (or if the above steps don't work for you), follow these steps. 1) Make sure the document is closed. 2) Choose File > Preferences > General and uncheck "Remember Missing Font Names". Click Set. 3) Open the document. You will get a message about missing fonts, but this time FrameMaker will make a permanent substitution of the missing font or fonts. 4) Save and close the document. The next time you open it, you shouldn't get the missing fonts message. If you want, restore the Remember Missing Font Names settings in the Preferences dialog box. There is a way to find fonts through the Find/Change dialog box (Edit > Find/Change), but it won't find fonts hidden in table formats anyway.
