Auto replace missing fonts during script place

I have a script that runs at startup that puts a word document in a new indesign document. The problem is that if there are fonts in a word document that indesign can't find, then we get a message saying there are missing fonts and a series of errors javascript because there is an open dialogue.

Y at - it an option to automatically replace the missing fonts in a specified font?

InDesign CS5

Windows

Form I understand that you can't replace missing fonts until the document is opened. To avoid the modal dialog box missing fonts, you can set

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;

before the opening of the document and then make your substitutions of fonts. Don't forget to reset the userInteractionLevel when your script is done!

  • Replace missing fonts by character style

    I placed the text from Word into InDesign and in paragraphs, there are here and there words that are in italics or bold italics. In the font I use, there are no italic or bold italic. I would like to replace these two styles of missing fonts by a character style [in which the text is asymmetrical] in one or two steps, without having to apply the asymmetrical character style Word by Word. When I try to use «Find the police...» ', InDesign only allows to replace a font missing ("David Italic' in this case) with a different font altogether. I want to use the same font ('David'), simply apply the character style where the font is missing. How can I apply a character style where the police don't lack - in one or two steps?

    Thank you.

    Nevermind - I figured it!

    var missingItem = "\n".

    var usedFonts = document.fonts;

    for (var i = 0; i)< usedfonts.length;="">

  • How to replace a missing font?

    Missing fonts have already been replaced just by opening the project.

  • Missing fonts, how to find to replace?

    I use Adobe Illustrator CS6, CS5 upgrade on a Win7 machine. I have an old Type 1 hangover (Interstate) where I am replaced with a custom face of open Type of police Office (InterstateRL). I removed the old fonts from my system, in order to eradicate all instances and replace it with open each Illustrator file used by week. When I open the file, I get the expected message "InterstateTab-Regular: fonts not found on the system; missing font has been substituted. "Great, just what I expected! But when I find the replace it with the new police, I can't find it in the file. I did the following:

    • Look in the Normal paragraph Style (or any paragraph style). -missing font, do not use
    • Look in the Normal Character Style (or any style) - lack of fonts do not use
    • Document setup > highlight substituted fonts - none appear
    • Go to finding fonts to find missing fonts - but apparently not finding fonts
    • Go to object > path > cleaning and check empty text paths, and then click ok. Close, and then reopen the document. -does, no change
    • Check that there are no hidden layer - there is no hidden layers or sublayers
    • Check if all the colorless formatted text objects that use the missing font - none
    • Check patterns and symbols, if there is no text inside those. Find police search only what is in the document. -Choose all symbols and deleted (it does not include the text), no change.

    Other ideas for what I could try?

    SOLUTION! This appears to related to the fact that the object in the file was a GRAPH. Increments appeared always empty in the final document, and the corresponding cells in the datasheet were empty. To resolve this problem, I had to enter text in each empty cell in the first column of the datasheet to make it visible under a label the x-axis in the chart. Since it does not matter what was the text, I just used a symbol period in each empty cell. I could select group the x-axis label text at the bottom of the chart, and then apply the character Style in the favorite police and ERASE the substitution (if it was) to the character Style.

    I then closed and then reopened, and missing fonts message did not appear. I removed the open periods in the map data, saved again, and the message of missing fonts appears to be gone for good.

    It appears that regardless of the police has been assigned to the category of chart label text was always affected, even if the police were not visible in one of the panels or through the find fonts.

    NOTE: The unwanted InterstateTab-Regular police Type1 is NEVER APPEARED anywhere where I could see in Illustrator. Apparently not FINDING fonts or in my CHARACTER Panel, even when I chose only an individual 'invisible' increment, or the increments when it became visible with the symbol of the era. However, it was of course incorporated in the chart element itself at the time I created the chart. And if I have created a pdf file, Illustrator or InDesign file that the art of the Illustrator has been bound, he appeared in the FONTS tab. So he was clearly have embedded in the pdf file. The only police who all appeared in any window, except for the missing fonts on the opening message, was the Police Opentype regular correct InterstateRLTab.

  • Delete the "Missing fonts" dialog box during the execution of JavaScript

    Hello

    I develop a script (in JavaScript) which allows to convert all the InDesign files in a directory specified for PDF files. I'm running into a problem when I run the script because all InDesign files have missing links / fonts.  Therefore, a "Missing fonts" dialog box opens after each InDesign file opens.  I believe that because this dialog box is open, I get the error:

    "cannot process the request because a modal dialog box or the alert is active.

    Again, I'm assuming that my script does not work because the dialog box open "missing fonts.

    Is it possible to remove all the instructions of the user?  I've read some things about the levels of user interaction, however I have not found a way to settle this with JavaScript.

    I'd appreciate any help.

    Thank you!

    Hey!

    Try this:

    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
    

    and on the finish to put this:

    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;

    Status of the user only - if updates come along, I must have IT connect you to them to apply.

    Here is an old workaround that might do the trick. Add a transparent element to your PDF and then use for your vector fonts flattening preview, every once in a blue moon that works, even if the required fonts are not on your system (I think). In Acrobat, go to Document > watermark > add > text (hit the SPACEBAR) to 99% opacity, this will add a transparent invisible watermark. Go to Advanced > printing > Flattener Preview > vectorize all the text > Apply. If you see a message that the fonts should be post incorporated, read Peter # 1 once more and print out the PDF to an image, this option may be under Advanced options in your print dialog box. Not ideal, difficulty, but might suit your needs.

  • How to get rid of pink highlights on missing fonts?

    Hi, take a look at this screenshot.  See how the text is highlighted in pink?

    http://imgur.com/9Udspvl

    I worked on this document, which was started by another developer, and I have all the right fonts.  I know.  InDesign has replaced all the missing fonts by something similar, and it's fine for my needs.  Then, I was working on the doc for two days, with missing fonts, and everything was fine, roses only highlights.  Then somehow (I don't know what I did to trigger it) all missing fonts becomes highlighted in pink.  What I've done and how I put back it?  I don't want the missing fonts highlighted in pink.  They were not like this before, even if the fonts were still missing.

    Another thing about this document view has changed as the rose also, appear.  At first, when I got a picture or text that ran out of the page, it was not displayed.  The finished page where it ends, and the extra part of the image that would be cut has not been demonstrated.  Now it shows images that extends off the page.  You can see in the same screenshot above.  This setting affects this and how do I put back it?

    I hope this makes sense.  Thanks for any help.
