Missing Fonts dialog

The Missing Fonts dialog appears when you open a project that contains a font that you do not have installed on your computer. It allows you to select replacement fonts that are installed on your computer as substitutes.

The Missing Fonts dialog displays a table with multiple columns that identify the specific font families and styles that are missing for font, character, and paragraph styles and text objects. Every place in the project where a font is missing has its own row. For example, if the bold style of a font family is used in three different paragraph styles, three rows are shown in the dialog, one for each paragraph style.
