Missing Fonts message

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Tammy,



Go to File > Preferences > Alert Strings and see if the "File contains
Unavailable Fonts." checkbox is checked. If it is not, you won't get missing
font messages when you open a file. Please let me know if you have any
questions or comments. Thank you very much.

I am sorry - fat-fingered the message. It's FM 10, not 7. (I am a little
flustered this morning as one of our email accounts has been hacked and I
was dealing w/ that issue also.)



Thanks,

FM 7, Win 7, 64 bit.  For File Preferences > General, I have Remember
Missing Font Names Selected. I have inherited a book that if I try to update
w/out opening all of files, I get the message "Could not open FileName.fm
because it uses unavailable fonts" for every closed,  non-generated file in
the book; however, whenever I open any of these files, I do NOT get the
message about Filename. fm  using unavailable fonts and stating what font
will be used instead. How do I figure out what fonts are supposedly missing
from these files and get this cleaned up so I can avoid this message if I
don't open every file in the book when updating the book?

TIA,

Missing Fonts message

[Tammy Van Boening]

Thanks Rick and Nadine. It's a bit more involved, but it's using the new
feature from 9 that I had to remember : View > Pods > Fonts with an
offending file open and then select the missing font and click the Replace
icon to select the replacement font.

Tammy... I'm unsure about your use of the term 'correct' here. If the fonts are 
missing, the document requires them, so the simplest way to avoid the issue is 
to get hold of the fonts it uses and install them.

Failing that, you can take several approaches:

. You can tell FrameMaker to alias fonts in the maker.ini file. This makes it, 
say, treat every request for Helvetica as a request for Arial. The 'correct' 
font identities remain coded into the source files. This process is described 
in one of the online guides, I think the multiple platforms one.

. You can use the Find dialog to search for instances of the missing fonts. The 
missing font family is still selectable in the character style options dialog 
of the find dialog, it's just grayed out. When you find the errant paragraph, 
character or table tags, you can redefine the tag to use a font you already 
have (although the identity of the original font is then lost). Don't forget to 
search on master and reference pages too: in my case an interminably persistent 
instance of Arial turned out to be the A-line text used to label graphical 
objects on a reference page, i.e. something that had absolutely no relevance to 
the printed output from the document!

. If, once you have done all of the above, you are still getting missing font 
messages, you can save the errant file to MIF and use a text editor to search 
for font instances. The online MIF reference guide, or your own inspection, 
will tell you which tags to search for. FrameMaker has a talent for ferreting 
font ids away in really obscure places, such as parts of a table style that you 
never use.

. The absolute bottom line, when you've done the above, is to open and re-save 
the documents with 'Remember missing fonts' unchecked in FrameMaker's 
preferences. This causes FrameMaker to forget the fonts and use its own 
substitutions. If the missing font messages are coming from tags you never use, 
this probably won't matter. Sometimes its the only way to make FrameMaker shut 
up.

If you mean actually finding the spots where they reside, will generating a 
List of References for fonts do it for you? It lists each font, followed by 
hyperlinks to each place where they exist.

Missing fonts message

[Van Boening, Tammy]

All,

I had this information saved once before from the list, but can find it
now. When I open several documents received from an outside source, I
get a missing font message. That's fine - I know what to do to get rid
of the message, but what I really would like to do is find these errant
fonts in the document themselves and replace them with the proper fonts.
I remember something back in the fuzzy recesses of my aging memory about
saving to .mif and searching, but. . .am I really off-base or ???
