missing fonts in Indesign CS3
I have a weird problem with missing fonts in InDesign CS3 and Photoshop CS3 under Windows 7 64-bit. PostScript fonts are not on their menu, but are listed as being installed in the menu \windows\fonts. Fonts are also available in Microsoft products and in Framemaker. The strange thing is that the old saved files that use PS fonts have always listed fonts (but not other fonts PS). If I open a file inherited with the particular font to PS, I can create a new InDesign file that will have this font available. If the legacy file is not open, the new file will not police as an option. I know that the CS3 products are pre-Win 7 64 bit, but Framemaker, for all its ancient code, works like a charm.
By fonts PostScript , we assume you mean fonts Type 1.
There was a problem in CS3 as you describe. The problem is solved with the CS4.
The solution is to copy the Type 1 fonts (both the.) PFB and. PFM for each font file) in the InDesign and Creative Suite-specific fonts directory. They will be seen by the CS3 applications.

Hello, I have problems, find missing fonts in my Indesign CC program. At work, they use an earlier version of Indesign CS5 and of course the fonts are there, but when I work at home, I can't find the fonts anywhere in my CC version. I need this problem as I work from home due to problems of connectivity to work. I read in some forums of old, and I'm sorry, I guess I'm a noob here, but there was so much confusion open type, Extensis Suitcase... and so on.
I need a very clear answer how get these fonts on my computer. I don't know why Adobe have brought to this program. Also, I looked through fonts Type Adobes kit nothing helps. So, it's really confusing. Please help me because I need this resolved as soon as POSSIBLE!
At work, use file > package... and include the fonts. Take the case of the House package and the fonts should be available in the file without having to install.

Problems with fonts in InDesign CS3 in Snow Leopard
Has anyone else had problems with the font book and InDesign CS3?
Just had some new Mac Mini running Snow Leopard against Migration Assistant an old Mini. Initially, every thing seems to be great. But on the opening of the ads in Indd CS3 I noticed that fonts disappeared, even if they have been enabled in the font book.
Then I reinstalled the necessary fonts and we don't use iLife and iTools products, I traded the Helvetica TrueType for the version of Adobe.
It does not work...
So, I have rebuilt the Mac fonts installed, once again, a CD original and installed InDesign CS3 clean (orig DVD)...
Yet once again, did not work.
Now, I know I can put fonts required in the folder Fonts in InDesign, or store them in ~/Library/Fonts, but since we have a library of 3000 + policies that manage our users with the font book, it will become unworkable.
Anyone could launch a patch or fix this, another way...?
There is a Snow Leopard update, you will need to search in preferences/software update system after the upgrade. After the reboot, this problem has been elminated for me, fortunately!

Missing fonts in InDesign via javascript
Hello
I want to list all missing fonts in the Indesign file via javascript
I was a little confused with no. 2 and no. 5
1 FontStatus.installed1718831470
2 FontStatus.notAvailable1718832705
3 FontStatus.fauxed1718830689
4 FontStatus.substituted1718834037
5 FontStatus.unknown1433299822
that one must use or should I use these two?
Please help me
Thanks in advance
Mahesh J
Hello Manu,
You can use only no. 2 [FontStatus.notAvailable 1718832705].
Because points 5 is a rare case. If the application unable to identify the status of the police then only he presented as 'UNKNOWN '.
For a list of missing fonts, you can use only the 2 bridge.
Kind regards

Missing tools in Indesign CS3 on Mac
In the middle of a business meeting has changed my INdesign workspace and several essential tools are now missing from my box to tools. The paint bucket tool used to reside under the gradient tool is now gone - the only options available are the tool shade of gradient and gradient feather tool. Similarly, the Brush tool is absent and the Eraser tool, I used to work with that disappeared. I tried to restore my default workspace, tried setting the base workspace and tried to restart my computer without result. The Toolbox is here, missing just a few tools I was using just a few hours ago. Any suggestions?
This is the tool Photoshop, InDesign not...

What can I do to recover the missing fonts in InDesign?
Since a few years I'm working on my Mac OS 10.5.8 on a photo album in InDesign CC3.
The text includes policies issued in 2012 including Arial, book Antigua, Lucida calligraphy, Times New Roman, and time, policies that have recently disappeared when opening InDesign with the news that they are not part of the system. Why do existing, policies issued suddenly disappear and what can I do to get back them?
As a newcomer to this forum, I hope that someone will be useful and enjoy every given indication.
Sincerely

Fonts missing after migration to InDesign CS3
After migration to InDesign CS to a new PC, a font is missing: Arial Narrow family. I've used this for large number of tables in a book, I need to find a method to retrieve this font. Arial Narrow police is listed in the installation of Windows fonts (Vista). The police is also listed in the font list of InDesigne CS3 on my old PC.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks, Joop
http://InDesignSecrets.com/hotfix-corrects- arial-narrow- issue-on - windows.php
If this does not work, you will need to copy the old policies of the other system and reinstall new versions.

I read everything I could find on the mssing fonts, but continue to have problems with opening the InDesign files and receive a message on a police missing (Arial Narrow).
InDesign CS3 v5.04
Two users (Administrator and user (with the Local administrator rights) have no problem with missing fonts when you open the same file.
Two different users (who both have Local administrator rights) receive the message about missing fonts when you open the same file.
The PC has the police loaded in Windows,
I copied Arial Narrow in the Adobe\Indesign\Fonts directory
I deleted all the files from Adobe*.lst
After the Adobe*.lst file is recreated the lst file has the specificity of Arial Narrow in the lst file.
Don't know what to try next
I did not understand the original message that users working on the same PC. Who would like to do away from the problem of the police, I think, and perhaps to a corruption of preferences, although I couldn't say for sure.
I think trying the patch would be a good thing, and Yes, there are perhaps Adobefnt*.lst files in each user profile that should be deleted (maybe it's all that is false). Otherwise, replace preferences for the users concerned may be in order.
On the same machine, assuming there is no problem on customizations user of everyone that you don't want to share, you can copy the profile data of one user to another without problem, or you can rebuild each bad set from scratch. See this page for instructions (in English) and don't forget to read the comments. Adobe InDesign CS4 * setting preferences

Illustrator, says 'Missing Police' while InDesign detects and uses the same fonts OK
Looks like I'm having some problems with fonts for CC Illustrator on Mac OSX (Mavericks), both new installs. Specifically, I'm trying to open a .ai file that uses the font "Coolvetica. Then, I get the error "Missing Fonts" here:
I installed the police and restarted Illustrator:
I opened the dialog box "Find fonts" to see that is still missing:
I wanted to check that it was, in fact, installed, then I open OpenOffice and tried it with success. Also, I opened InDesign and tried it with success.
I searched the forums for clues. I found there a CC cleaning tool, if I followed the instructions, making sure to restart my computer and reinstall Illustrator. Unfortunately, I was met the same problem after reinstalling.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
To recap:
Steps to reproduce:
1.) to open a .ai file that already contains fonts "coolvetica. In my case, it's a file that has been generated on another Windows computer running an earlier version of Adobe CS.
2.) get the error message about missing fonts
3.) install the fonts using the font book
4.) restart Illustrator and re - open the file
Expected results:
Police is correctly
Actual results:
Still missing a font
Thanks for the persistence, Jacob.
I tried to clear the cache of fonts using 'sudo atsutil databases - remove' and restart immediately with no will. I also gave the thing 'Place' a trial with no will. However, I did find a resolution!
In this case, for some reason, I have two different .ttf files "Coolvetica" I installed, both are the value of type 'Ordinary' (see screenshot in my first post). Even if they are all two "regular", they have a different appearance for them (once again see screenshot above). I was beginning to think that this double name is confusing Illustrator, so I dug deep enough into it and found that I could change 'Ordinary' to something else so that the name is not in conflict. "This necessary by using the guide here: FontGeek" TTX helps to rename fonts. After you run the police through program "ttx", I replace all occurrences of 'Ordinary' with the 'descent' (in reference to the stung 'G') within the generated file .ttx. I then re - crossing "ttx" program and installed the newly created fonts. I opened Illustrator and tada! It worked.
Ultimately, it seems that the name of type of duplicate fonts was which was missing his shot upward. I was able to replace the fonts correctly after that. This could cause headaches for other members in my group because they their policies will have a different name than mine and now they're going will be requested to "Seek a police", but I think that it is a step in the right direction and I can figure the rest out later.
Thank you!

I have a laptop that I use when I work away from home. My laptop is a macbook pro that I bought recently (early October 2013). Both my iMac and macbook are passed by the recent updates to the Mavericks and my iMac works fine with creative cloud. However, when I was trying to open documents I share via the drop box on my laptop, using InDesign CC who was just upgraded a few days ago, I was told I was missing 3 fonts, all fonts that are always in InDesign. So I turned off my computer and restarted it, and now it tells me I'm missing 9 fonts! I have to go out of town for a family emergency tomorrow and I need my laptop. I searched and have no idea how to fix this. It is a headache I really don't need right now, so any help is very appreciated.
These are the missing fonts:
Bell MT "BOLD"
Average BlairMdlTCTT
Book Antiqua Bold
Bookman Old Style
Bookman Old Style bold
Cambria
Cooper Black
Mona Lisa solid ITCTT
Caslon great Medium
And honestly, I have not tried uninstalling/reinstalling InDesign CC - is it possible?
Most of your missing fonts appears to be fonts that are installed with Microsoft Office, with the exception of Blair, Mona Lisa and Big Caslon. These fonts appear in your FontBook app?

InDesign CS3 missing INBOOKLET. PLN
Hello
I created a file in InDesign CS 2.0 using a plug-in "inbooklet.pln".
When I open the file in InDesign CS3, a window opens saying "missing plugin: inbooklet.pln. After you click OK, however, I can work with the file.
But these windows follow poping up everytime I open my files and I have a lot of files like this.
Is it possible to turn off forever?In CS3, I thing they used the "inbooklet.pln" directly in the program itself, and not simply as a plug-in but CS3 retains the opening pick her up every time.
How can I make my files open without the missing plugin notification?Thank you very much for your help!

Hi all
Could you please tell me if it is possible to change the font size of the InDesign CS3 menus?
And I don't mean the size of the text that I work with in the program, but rather the size of all the letters:
the status bar (which shows the zoom of the document, for example, 75% of the State: ever recorded, etc..)
the icons in 'tools '.
all headers
I'll be very greateful for your answer, because everything is too small for me in the programe and I can't quite see.
Thank you!
Lol not without the computer screen... something you don't want to do.

I'll try that again. After the upgrade from CS2 to CS4, there are many missing fonts from my system, in particular the Warnock Pro family. How can I get that back?
My CS2 Premium came with a disk called Resources and Extras, and in this drive is a folder called Goodies. In the subfolder of InDesign, you will find some fonts. There is also a folder called documentation, and in this folder, you will find that another called fonts which is where Bickham Script Pro and Warnock Pro are hidden.
Similarly, CS4 came with a labeled disc content, with a Goodies folder contains a subfolder fonts. I'm not sure wheter you woould get images with a download to disk, but I think so.
You can install these fonts normally as with any font - you wouldn't need to run CS2 or CS4 Setup to access.

Modify the filter script to check missing or outdated links AND missing fonts
OBS: Script InDesign CS3:
I have this script:
if (app.documents.length != 0){ var myFrames = app.activeDocument.textFrames; var thePageNames = new Array(); for (var j = 0 ; j <= (myFrames.length - 1); j++) { if(myFrames[j].overflows == true){ try { thePageName = myFrames[j].parent.documentOffset; } catch (e) { continue; // must be on Pasteboard so ignore } thePageNames[thePageName] = 1 } } if (thePageNames.length == 0) { } else{ var s = ""; for (i in thePageNames) { s = s + app.documents[0].pages[Number(i) - 1].name + ", "; } s = s.substring(0,s.length - 2); if(!confirm("Overset text on page - continue?")) exit(); } }
With the same princip and funtion, I want to also check for:
1. missing or outdated links
2. lack of fonts
Can someone help me to rewrite this? I tried with this for the part of links, but nothing happens when I run the script:

var thePageNames = new Array();
for (var j = 0; j)<= (mylinks.length="" -="" 1);="">=>

Try
{
myLinks [j].parent.parentPage.documentOffset = thePageName;
}
catch (e)
{
continue; should be on the editing table so ignore
}
thePageNames [thePageName] = 1
}
}
If (thePageNames.length! = 0)
{
var s = "";
i in thePageNames
{
s = s + app.documents [0] .pages [Number (i) - 1] .name + ",";
}
s = s.substring (0, s.length - 2);
If (! confirm ("missing or not updated links in the document - continue?"))
Exit();

If (! confirm ("missing fonts in the document - continue?" ""))
Exit();
