How to find "Unavailable Fonts"

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

I have come across such anomalies. Then it has had to do with imported
documents, like OLE linked Visio files or imported pdf files made on
another system (older version of M$ Windoze, usually).

I have just ignored it and everything will print OK. Never had a real
problem with it.

It seems as Windows is saying: "Gotcha! You have a different version
of Windoze installed than the file you are importing was made in. Same
font - some different connections in Registry. Your tough luck."

Don't you just like Windoze?
