Finding a font

[Lester C. Smalley]

Does this message appear when you try to print the document, or when opening it?  The fonts available may depend on which printer is currently selected. (and usually will in Windows :-( )

"Missing" fonts can also hide in reference pages, cross-reference formats, table definitions (e.g., the paragraph formats used by default for cells contents), and graphic images (such as WMF, EPS or PDF).

If all other font usage are correct, an option is to choose to NOT remember missing fonts (file > preferences > general preferences; be sure the "remember" box is unchecked) when you open a document.  This option needs to be changed before you open the document in question. Frame will make permanent the substitution based on information in the [UnknownToKnownFontMap] section of the maker.ini file.

| You could save the file as MIF and then search the MIF file for Times.
