More Font Warnings

[Craig Ede]

You are talking about the Fonts Pod (brought up with View>Pods>Fonts). As
far as I know you can only see fonts defined for some use in the document
there. You can use the Replace button in the Fonts Pod to perform
substitutions to get rid of the fonts you don't want. 

It is possible, I think, that an unused paragraph or other object definition
can specify a font you don't have, but using the Replace button to perform a
substitution should permanently change that. The existence of objects
defined to use a specific font, but with no instance of that object in the
document, would explain situations where you choose a font to replace and
then, after hitting the Replace button in the Fonts Pod, you don't get a
list of any places where the substitution will be made. (Choose a font you
know you have in the document and you will see what I mean about the listing
of occurrences.)

Lastly, sometimes a font is hidden on a left master page in a document that
was two sided and was then made one-sided later. This hides the left master
page from view. Changing the document to double-sided and deleting all
content from the left master page gets rid of this. You can then save the
document as single sided without having this problem font problem cropping
up.

I have also seen empty text boxes buried behind a text flow that cause this
problem. (Somebody had to work hard to get them there.) The Replace function
in the Fonts Pod would leave the text box in place, but prevent the font
error. A better way to track these text boxes down is to use the Apply
Master pages and then note which pages show overrides. Those are the pages
where such "extras" will be hidden. The incantation is Format>Page
Layout>Apply Master Pages.

Maybe I used the wrong term "palette". Sorry if I can't keep track of
Adobe's UI terminology. Panel, pod, palette, pop-up... makes my head spin.

I mean the boxes that allow you to view and change fonts globally in the
document. I thought that only shows the fonts actually being used in the
document.

I do not mean the paragraph catalog nor the whatever-it's-called that
displays all the fonts installed and available on a given machine/system.
